Nodding insanely at this post! I’m a gsd owner. My dog is in behavioural therapy after being attacked by another dog. She was on the lead, it wasn’t. It came running over and traumatised the both of us. Thankfully she didn’t get any injuries but the mental scares to her have been huge. Her recall is fab but I have to be careful as she now tries to bolt if she sees another dog and if she can’t get away she does this silly little defensive bark and lunge - called being reactive. We’ve been in training since June last year and we’ve made massive head way. She now enjoys her walks again, I’ve got my confidence back and we are making progress. It can all be undone by one stupid rat dog bombing it over to her.Just watched her stories folk like her fk me off. Fkn face in her phone when shes walking that dog. Our dog is always on a lead because his recall is shocking, but the amount of dogs that run up to ours while the owner either screams across oh it’s ok mine is friendly or they have no clue what their dog is doing because the have the phone in their face seriously pisses me off. I can guarantee if my dog was in any way aggressive to any these dogs I would get the blame because he’s a German shepherd - soz rant over And the worst dog owners around my area have either cockapoos or labradoodles
