This guy DOES have a dog, and it ALWAYS barks when we walk by...if he had been in there, there is a HUGE HUGE chance he woulda attacked Oakley...and, since he is like 5x the size of him, and Oakley is a horrible fighter, he prob could've killed him.
If that's true..why wouldn't you walk him on a leash? You want your dog to be attacked and die? I mean this could happen with anyone else's dog, as well. It doesn't make any sense that you would walk him unleashed when 1) it's not safe and he could be attacked, and 2) it's illegal where you live.

Where are you guys from? Seriously, it seems so.. RULED there!
Here trustworthy dogs are let off in parks, small patches of green... and nothing will happen cause they'll come back- cause they know they'll be free again in a minute!

Poor Dreeza, i can't believe how muched she's being attacked for a funny incident. Ok if Oakley got hurt it wouldn't be funny...

but guys lighten up, don't your dogs get ANY freedom??
Just sayin'...

Some people are way too overprotective of their dogs, i mean i love my dog to bits too, but i let him have a bit of fun once in a while too.

3 feet from a 5-6 foot wall, if she had Oakly on a 4 foot leash what do yall think would have happenned? Oakley would have gone over the wall dragging Dreaza with him, and hanging himself for a short time.

Having Oakley on a 50 foot line the same event would have happenned without the dragging or hanging. Seriously people, it was just a funnay story.

And yes, he is able to show restraint when chasing animals. He will stop mid-chase without me making a peep if the animal crosses the street because he KNOWS he is not allowed to cross.
Obviously not...

I just don't understand how you can put your dog in a dangerous situation like this. I'm sure that my dogs would love to walk off leash, but that's never going to happen. Why? Because I care about them, and I wouldn't want something to happen to them that could've easily been prevented with a leash. Also, I don't trust other dogs/people who could harm my dogs... and it's disrespectful to others, because not everyone likes dogs nor do they want your dog in their yard.

Not to mention the fact that it's illegal to have a dog off leash.

Didn't you say earlier that your dog can climb a 7' fence? So, if your dog is not on a leash, he could climb the neighbor's fence, be attacked by their dog, and die.

But it's cool. I mean, the dog deserves to live a little. Dogs who have to walk on a leash are obviously miserable creatures with no freedom. It's just like kids climbing trees... you know that big ogres live in the branches just waiting to eat children :rolleyes: The two situations can definitely be compared :rolleyes:

Yeah, why would you leash your dog? That's just torture. Let's all walk our dogs unleashed and see what happens! :rolleyes:

:lol-sign: omg wow wowowowoowow

I cant even believe I am being sucked into responding to the ABSOLUTE ridiculousness of this post cause it is in sooooo many ways...

1)Yeahhhh, cause Oakley would for sure be climbing a fence where a dog is snarling at him on the other side :rolleyes:

2) he only tries to climb fences to get to US. if we are outside with him, and he is in his kennel, he doesnt try...hence the reason we didnt know he was capable. But when he sees us leave/go inside was when he would do it...cause he wanted to be with us...and umm, on a walk, he likes to be with me...sooo ok.

3) If he were to do such a thing despite the above 2 reasons, you think i would sit there and watch him?? he is a 30lb. twit, i would just pull him off...

4) You can ignore all the above cause their fence is smooth wood. I'd like to see any animal climb that.


Jessie...i let Oakley walk off leash BECAUSE i care about him. He *lives* to run...containing him is cruel.


and BLUE... :hail::hail: THANK YOU!!

YEAH, Jessie.. having a dog on a leash is CONTAINMENT! It's much better to let the dog have all the freedom in the world. I mean, who cares if it gets run over by a car or attacked by another dog? Atleast it had freedom before it went to the bridge.. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

a 30 pound dog is going to pull her over a fence? seriously? come on.

you're lucky it wasn't my yard your dog jumped into. i would have been less than amused, and downright pissed if my dogs had been outside and had gotten into trouble because you choose not to control your dog. and even moreso if i had been forced to have my dogs killed because they were deemed "Dangerous" when it was all YOUR fault.

Exactly... screw being a responsible owner!

Gosh, if I was letting my dogs do whatever they wanted, I couldn't imagine how things would be. They would each weigh about 500lbs (my dogs "*live*" to eat). Although it would terribly unhealthy to let them eat themselves to death, they would love it. So why don't I just let them eat whatever they want? Because I care about them.

I'm sure my dogs would love to be off leash on their walks as well... HOWEVER, for their safety and my sanity, they are always leashed. I can't stand it when I see an off leash dog... and I always worry about what could happen if one of them attacked my LEASHED dogs.

Yeah what good is training a dog not to enter the road when you can just keep it on a leash. Why bother training a dog to be reliable off lead when you can just keep it on a leash.

Why teach your kids not to play in the road when you can hook him or her to a harness and leash.

I'm glad that the squirrel didn't run across the street that Oakley knows he's not supposed to go into to .

Yeah, because a kid is just like a dog.
