Do people generally ask permission to pet him though? Because I have yet to encounter anyone that will just walk right up and start petting either of my dogs, they are huge. I have always been asked by people first. If you are pissed off about people that genuinely want to pet a dog, and then ask you permission to pet the dog then maybe you are just a pissed off kind of person. |

You don't let your own family talk to your dog? No because once he starts talking its not easy to shut him up....he just goes on and on and on and on and on...... He wants more food....more meat....bigger bowl.....more truck rides.....wants to go in the butcher shop instead of always having to sit in the truck.....its how he gets. I read it wrong the first time, I thought you meant you wouldn't let your kid talk to the dog, which seemed odd. Makes more sense when I figured you meant not letting the kid talk to the stranger. |

We have a group that we supply food and training supplies for that trains service dogs for vets with PTSD. Never fails if they bring the dog with them wearing a bright red vest with the words, "DO NOT PET, SERVICE DOG IN TRAINING!" some dumbass walks up and just tries to pet the dog.
People are fucking stupid. What I do if I don't want people to approach and pet is tell them when I see them coming to please not approach, we are working on training. I always put the dogs in sit when people are coming, and make them wait until the person is past us. If someone asks as they approach if they can pet them, I will let them as long as the dogs don't break their sit. |

I have no desire to pet anyone's dog. Every dog I know licks its ass and eats random feces laying on the ground.
I also get tired of the owners who let their dogs shit everywhere. This is especially common in Europe where you can't walk a block without seeing a pile of dog shit. |

It is great for their socialization to be approached and petted by all kinds of people, plus they love the attention. It changes nothing at home, they will still go into attack mode when someone they don't know shows up at the house, I have had them keep multiple people off the front porch before by standing their ground at the top of the steps. I want them to realize that out and about is social time, the field is hunting/work time, and at home is protection time, and they both seem to have a pretty firm grip on separating those. |

I have yet to encounter it, but if someone went for my dog in public first without asking me I would get after them. Off leash is a different story though, if the idiot lopes up happily to a stranger I will call him off, but if they start to pet him its my fault for not calling him back fast enough. |

Is the dog hunting? Nope!
Is the dog working? Nope! (cattle, sheep or bomb dog) Is he a service animal? Nope! (no vest that says service dog or blind harness) Sorry OP your dog is prone to be petted. In Ohio a dog gets one free bite. If he never bit someone for no reason and he isn't one of the vicious breeds in the statute you are more or less OK if he nips someone. If he mauls someone not so much. My Llewellen Setter is very friendly and everyone wants to pet her. If the dog seems OK with it I let them go right ahead. |

I hear ya. I've got a GSD. He's great at home with friends and family. He's well behaved amongst humans away from home on a leash but also very protective. Pretty much let us walk and ignore him and he'll ignore you. Once someone reached out to pet him without having the good sense to ask if he was friendly and it alright and he "mouthed" their hand as warning. They looked at me like I was the jerk, but if I didn't even have time to tell them "don't touch" before they had their hand reached out and on him.

Who said it was a public park?
This is a wild and unpatrolled (by LEO) area where people tube and canoe. Anything goes out there, drugs, drunks, and rowdy is the normal. Google up Salt River tubing in AZ Big easy Snow, he does come to me, I just get tired of having to heel him because of inconsiderate folks that think it's a petting zoo. Because you have him unleashed. Unleashed dogs tend to roam. You are not on private land. People tend to pet friendly, unleashed dogs.
Its not hard to apply logic here. Leash your dog on PUBLIC land. Huh, look at the pics on page One (my OP), does that look like a "roaming" dog? Nope, he stays close as he knows that he's protecting us. Like I've asked more than once, WHY do you folks feel the need to come up to a unknown animal and pet it? On leash or not, don't you think you're violating my space by being so intrusive? Why does my dog have to be the one restrained when YOU people are the ones violating my area? |

A National Forest means I can setup my shit 1 foot from you. and you couldn't do a goddamn thing about it except move. I've owned dogs. Anytime they were unleashed, I excepted them to be petted by other people. If I didn't want people touching them, I leashed them up. A quick tug would send them right back to me, and I would tell people not to pet them. Its not a hard concept to grasp, and I don't run up touching other people's dogs. |

Any dog, any time, might bite. That's what some stranger walking/paddling/stumbling by is going to hear, anyway. I don't encourage complete strangers to come up to my dog. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I have to be honest with you buddy. If you are taking an unleashed dog to the river that might bite people seems a bit foolish. edit spelling Any dog, any time, might bite. That's what some stranger walking/paddling/stumbling by is going to hear, anyway. I don't encourage complete strangers to come up to my dog. Just who the fuck does? I know bettendorf personally and he certainly wouldn't, fucking guy hates people. And his dog, a swiss mountain dog is the coolest/nicest dog evar. |

If I didn't want people touching them, I leashed them up. A quick tug would send them right back to me, and I would tell people not to pet them. Really, on leash or off, I ask the same question, what gives you the right to approach me and my animal? Why does anyone feel the need to touch an unknown animal? Does a leash make it acceptable? Does an animal off leash seem like a good idea to approach? And why should my dog be restrained due to inconsiderate fools? I call him and he comes, no need for a leash, no need for dicipline on his part. He's trained to protect us, I don't really care that you think he's pretty, cute, or good looking, on leash or off you have really no reason to approach him. It's folk without dicipline on their part that cause this problem, not my dog. Dude, you have serious control issues if you honestly think you OWN PUBLIC FUCKING LAND AS "YOUR AREA". Unless Tonto National Forest is yours. A National Forest means I can setup my shit 1 foot from you. and you couldn't do a goddamn thing about it except move. Never said ANYWHERE that I own it, but then again neither do you. Yup, you can set your "shit" up 1 foot from me, but then you'd be showing what a dick you are. Really, I have control issues, but you have anger issuse. We both need to deal with our problems. 
Like I said, it's not his fault idiots want to turn the river into a petting zoo. |

It NEVER fails….. there always seems to be a special inconsiderate snowflake with an unleashed dog on public lands…… they are just so special.
They don't seem to or don't want to realize that IF their special snowflake dog bites anyone …… even if it is approached….. it's their ass. Letting a dog that "may bite" run freely is the height of stupidity. Tell us just how the dog is "trained to protect you". What titles does he possess and who did the training. IF he is trained to protect you, he SHOULD BE a stable animal. If YOU can't trust your dog, take the proper precautions and stop bitching about everyone else……. or pay when he bites someone. |

Even if a dog is friendly and has approached me I still ask its owner if it's ok to pet it as was the case of the Malinois that run up to me. Sometimes permission is easier to ask and get than assuming and consequently getting bitten by a nervous bitter

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Who said it was a public park? This is a wild and unpatrolled (by LEO) area where people tube and canoe. Anything goes out there, drugs, drunks, and rowdy is the normal. Google up Salt River tubing in AZ Big easy Snow, he does come to me, I just get tired of having to heel him because of inconsiderate folks that think it's a petting zoo. Huh, look at the pics on page One (my OP), does that look like a "roaming" dog? Nope, he stays close as he knows that he's protecting us. Like I've asked more than once, WHY do you folks feel the need to come up to a unknown animal and pet it? On leash or not, don't you think you're violating my space by being so intrusive? Why does my dog have to be the one restrained when YOU people are the ones violating my area? Quote HistoryQuoted:

Because you have him unleashed. Unleashed dogs tend to roam. You are not on private land. People tend to pet friendly, unleashed dogs.
Its not hard to apply logic here. Leash your dog on PUBLIC land. Huh, look at the pics on page One (my OP), does that look like a "roaming" dog? Nope, he stays close as he knows that he's protecting us. Like I've asked more than once, WHY do you folks feel the need to come up to a unknown animal and pet it? On leash or not, don't you think you're violating my space by being so intrusive? Why does my dog have to be the one restrained when YOU people are the ones violating my area? Sorry, but if it's public land, it's a petting zoo. You're just going to have to heel him when folks show up. It's not your space or your area, you're in public. They're just being friendly. Maybe it would be different if your dog weren't pretty. Maybe you could decorate "your" beach with inverted crosses and swastikas? When they yell out "can I pet your dog" you could try to sell them Amway? |
