Being chased by dogs

[stevefoster]

I've always found that if you shout loudly with some swear words that most dogs back off.

And pretend to pick up a stone like your going to throw it at said hound, most orrible dogs have had stones thrown at them before and will turn tail and run.

I blame the people being chased - cowards the lot of them.

I blame the people who start being-chased-by-dogs threads

Poor Harry my border collie, not only does he have to put up with a lot of you lot kicking, shouting, throwing stones and being generally obnoxious but tonight he was chased by a herd of cows (he was running along the path minding his own business and they decided to charge him from 200 yards away). Its tougher being a dog runner than a human at times

We obviously need a thread about irresponsible farmers letting their cows chase dogs

Cheers, yes I've read that before. Running in the forest is a good way to surprise a bear. I've been close to them out in Lapland before without actually seeing them....which is quite spooky. Especially when you can smell them.

Same thing happened to my laid back pooch, who wouldn't say boo to a goose (wish she would cos I hate the hissing things) had to throw her over a wall and jump over myself before we both became beef sandwiches!

I was watching 'Chariots of Fire' last night and the Olympic squad running on the beach end up getting chased by a dog

using commen sense is a good idea.

We don't want this thread ruined by common sense. La la la la - I'm not listening.

Now, where was that taser?

I always let my dog off the lead when in a field with cows. They HATE dogs and if they go for her, firstly without me connected to her she can out run them and secondly if they are going trample anything i would prefer it to be my dog rather than me!!

Worst I have been chased (and caught) by is bees swarming out of a hive. Not fun being stung in the head dozens of times. Mind you it was caused by my brother going past them and annoying them before me, which at least taught me to learn to run a bit faster in the future :thumbup:

My dog hates having me gently blow in her face. Could try that with a snarling pit bull, although I can't guarantee it will be effective.
