Inconsiderate Dog owners

I haven't really got a problem with inconsiderate dog owners as such

But inconsiderate people  well that's a different matter !!

It seems to be that the onus should be on the public that are annoyed to take action and not on the actual owners. A bit out of kilter me thinks.

if the club starts charging fiver per dog them I'm asking for my membership fee back and quitting going away as I can't afford to add £10 on to my fees blame the owner for allowing them to bark unchecked 

I have two dogs who are generally very quiet.  Having said that when recently on  a site in Scotland adults cutting across my pitch, making a crunching noise on the hardstanding and passing the van close enough to bump into my wing mirror did provoke the odd bark. It is possibly the only occasion that I wish that I had two Dobermans or similar!

As a lone traveller I didn't challenge them or contact the wardens as I was only there for one night and it was easier just to put up with their ignorance and extremely bad manners.

I did  move the ehu lead to a strategically inconvenient place for trespassers and it was quite amusing to see the main culprit try and climb over it rather than divert a few feet!

I'm having similar problems with awning owners banging pegs in. Any chance of making rubber mallets mandatory.

I suggest you follow my lead and invest in a set of ear-plugs. 

I think most dog owners try and keep their dogs quite but they are animals and no matter how well trained there will be times when they bark.

we was at a site last week and someone had their radio a bit too loud, maybe they should have been banned?, either say something to the owner or get over it and move on. 

Is it not the duty of the pack leader, and not the lowest member of the pack to decide who or what is a threat. Image if the dog were a mastiff not a cute little terrier. I was bitten last year by a little yorkshire terrier, which although rather funny to the owner, not so funny if a child were involved.

Surely we should stop making excuses and laying the responsibility at the door of those affected but squarely at the door of the owner.

I am fairly sure in most cases, the dog has just been allowed to behave in a manner it chooses and the owner has been unable to manage the problem. If you watch a dog that barks a lot, the owner rarely attempts to stop it. Should be compulsory to watch a few episodes with Ceasar Milan as he rehabilitates these kind of behaviours without much trouble.

Take a commercial site we were on last week, there must have been over 30 dogs on site but only 2 outfits were allowing their dogs to be a nuisance one even appeared to relish his dog barking at a nearby dog as he seemed to take a direct path past its pitch rather than use the pathway. The other dog by the way took no notice at all and just lay chilled at the owners feet.

Its a shame really that animals that give so much pleasure to their families can be brought into question by the few.

Perhaps you should have reported the matter to the police. They probably would not have found a prosecution for not keeping a dog under proper control quite as funny. It no longer has to be in a public place for them to take action.

Guess what my five year old grandson trod in while I was walking him to school this morning - not just on his shoe but somehow all up his leg as well. I had no wet wipes with me so hope the teachers will clean him up.   

 At a Club site or elsewhere ...... 

I think my local country park should  ban the geese & swans ...... there's  frequently  goose & swan poo on the path.
