ugh little ankle-biters!
Owners like that are just stupid! (trying to control my language!)
I commend you for being able to control your trio! You did a great job!
I don't know what the leash laws are like where you live. But here, the police would have been called & that owner would be facing tickets & big fines. The munincipalitie
s don't tolerate "dogs at large" any more.
If you were here & your dogs would have done anything to the little dog, the owner wouldn't have a legal leg to stand on. Her dog was off leash & she was in the wrong. And from how it sounds, she was in no hurry to remedy the situation. That's just ignorance. I would've yelled at her too. I can't stand people like that.
Big dog owners feel the need to go out of their way to make sure the dogs are trained, socialized, & under control. This way we can take them out with us & the general public doesn't feel "threatened" by their size.
On the other hand, when I am out, I frequently see little dogs on flexi-leads (if at all) & they are all over the place. Their owners have no clue how to control them & or what to do when we approach. They really make me nervous. They just expect that I will step aside or sit/stay my dog or cross to the other side of the street, because they're certainly not changing their direction!
Like I said ignorance...
If common sense were common, everyone would have it!
You did great!
