I've been waking up early these last few days, and bringing my dog out to the park with a long leash. I'm trying to train her to be more obedient, and it's nice to run around on the field without worry that she'll spot a rabbit and bolt on me.
There was this lone dog that came onto the field this morning, and despite scanning for a good minute I couldn't see its owner. I've seen the dog before with the owner, but this time he wasn't in view. I know he was there somewhere, but nowhere close enough to command his dog to get away from mine. I have a long line for a reason, I don't trust my dog. She's been violent with other dogs in the past, and it's too late in her life to socialize her. It really bummed me out, and cut short a really productive training session.
I'm left wondering what I have to do to not be bothered by other dog owners. Do I need to wake up at 4 AM instead of 5? I don't think I could make it through a day if I had to do that, it's rough enough as is. I still took her on a good hour walk, but it gets boring when all we do is walk. I wanna play fetch at the park without some other dog running and trying to take the ball. As far as I know it's not even an off leash park. I was even thinking...that guy must of been so far off, and it was still so dark, that if his dog took a shit he wouldn't of been able to find it (If he had any intention of picking it up at all).
I love dogs, but man I fucking hate dog owners. I would never get a dog myself, every one I've had has been dumped on me by family members. So maybe I'm just not the type of social personality that should actually have dogs.
She's a pit bull anyways, I would never take the chance. No matter what happens my dog is the one getting put down. Pit bulls are illegal in the city I'm in. She's not a bad dog, she played with the family sheltie growing up, and never actually hurt him. But she has nipped and pinned him several times. I don't know, it's just not worth the risk.
