Current Events > Public PSA Service Announcement; Keep your Dogs on a fucking leash

(+) Yeah! (+)

Just went for a morning walk ,and 3 random dogs left a house and followed me for about 1 1/2 miles before I decided to shake them. They all nearly got ran over multiple times

At least 2 of them had collars, and they kept pissing and shitting every few hundred feet.

I don't have them anymore but my dog's where under extremely good voice command and they never went outside without a human going out with them.

Literally all I had to do was yell "yard" and they'd come back. Worse case have to yell it twice if they decided to chase a squirrel or cat. But it would be obvious so id yell it twice in quick succession.

I'm pretty sure it's the law that they're supposed to be on a leash, trained or not.

Owned dogs all my life and seriously. Not a hard rule to follow.

All my dogs are well trained, but nothing beats a leash and/or a well secured yard for everyone involved.

.think that kinda thing is a county by county type of thing its common for dogs to run loose around here and we even called animal control on some and they didnt do anything. Instead gave us shit cause our dog didn't have her rabies tags on her.

On top of this, even if your dog is well trained the idiot dog off the leash running up to your dog might not be.

Does not matter how well trained a dog is, they are still animals and need to be on a leash.

I took my cat to the vet for a checkup and I will never forget a woman rushing in with her small dog bleeding profusely. A bigger, unleashed dog attacked her dog, and the owner of the bigger dog kept saying "She's never done anything like this before." Nobody wants to hear that. Leash your dog.

This. A delightful old lady used to always walk past here with her little Shi Tzu dog. Until the dog got killed by a loose rottweiler. Leash your fucking dogs.

At least they didn't bark at you and attack you, so that's something. Dogs truly are disgusting creatures and western culture's fascination with them is obscene. I should not have to be afraid to walk alone at night worried about being bitten by a dog, nor should I have to deal with the frustration of them pooping all over the area and having to avoid that.

Leashes aren't even that much better. One time some family let their 8 year old girl walk the dog and naturally a little girl has nothing even resembling a grip on a leash, so that dog ran toward me with its leash flying in the wind. Fucking nasty.

that's not a failure of the leash, that's a failure of stupid people

in most cases, a leashed animal is safer for others

To be fair at the time I was living in a beyond rural area. Like dirt road condition of the road made so nobody speed on it.

My problem was they would absolutely refuse to budge if on a leash. I have no clue why outside suspicion of abuse/neglect from previous owners. Dog we got now is leashed but I also have no trust in that dog.
