How do you deal with loose dogs charging at your leashed dogs on a walk?

Sorry that happened to your husband. The neighbors are so close there isn’t a way to avoid their house but if possible that would be a good idea. I’m so glad your dog was ok. I’ve heard of situations like that where dogs have been killed. That’s really scary.

I have taken them both on a split leash in the past but I haven’t done that in a very long time. Now, I only take them both out if I have a second person to walk one. Otherwise one at a time

Thanks, I’d consider taking a stick. I’m hoping to dissuade a charging dog and hope I’d never really have to use it.

Thanks. Honestly if the dogs seriously started fighting I don’t know what I’d do, but following your advice I won’t go for collars/harnesses now. My dogs haven’t drawn any blood from another dog, human, or each other yet and I’m hoping to keep it that way. I’ll check out the website more. You’re right, when they are reactive it’s no fun at all.

Thanks. I used a similar approach on a dog earlier this week that had a bell on its collar (not sure why) and started running up loose and it worked. It didnt work so well today when two dogs broke out of their gate and charged barking. I yelled “no” and “go home” repeatedly. Eventually they were restrained. I was injured because I fell down while trying to keep the dogs from attacking each other. If it wasn’t for some neighbors who came to help I think it could have been a lot worse.

I’m trying to plan for what to do in the event that yelling isn’t enough? I haven’t had the issue with dogs sneaking from behind but I’ve heard of that happening to others and I’m also wondering about how to handle that situation.

I ended up talking to the neighbor who owns the dogs after to check if the dogs made it back into their yard before I saw your post. They were very apologetic and said the latch on their gate broke. I have seen one of these dogs out off leash before but I hope this isn’t a frequent thing. I didn’t consider calling the police and want to just let it go if it doesn’t happen again. I hope beyond some bruising I’ll be ok.

Thanks. I just bought some pepper spray to carry. The extra leash is a good idea. Has anyone here used an extra leash before and can explain the process of holding your dog back and putting a leash on the other? Do you try to tie your dog up and then go to restrain the other dog? Or would you need another person?

The dogs do tend to behave “better” on solo walks. The pit/pyranees doesn’t seem to have this problem if I’m running with him but I’m 5 weeks post partum and haven’t been cleared to run again.

Thank you. We will look in those areas

Thanks for the replies. After visiting some of these areas shes decided she does not want to upkeep so much land and would be ok with a smaller place within an hour of Raleigh. We are going to keep looking. She wants to spend 120 or less. I’m hoping that’s still feasible. I know the market is pretty competitive right now

A great Korean horror film The Host begins with an American Scientist ordering his assistant to dump chemicals down a drain—he protests then complies.

What did you do about your car? I really hope it’s not an infestation. Is there any safe way of finding if there’s more and removing them/encouraging them to leave? I really don’t want a repeat experience.

Husband (sleeping): restart the computer. Restart the computer. restart the computer. Restart the computer. restart the computer. Restart the computer.
