Ok this is the 10th time I’ve yelled at this woman. She has a large black lab, and she walks him around the neighborhood, aside from using a small dumpster that is on my apartments property for throwing out her dog waste on walks, her dog runs loose. I know most of my neighbors and they all use leads and collars when walking. I have 6 ferrets that are frequently taken outside for play time. They are on harness/leashes, and are not allowed to roam loose. If I see a dog coming with its owners I scoop them up and wait until they pass to let them down again.
She walks hers w/o a physical leash on the dog. She says she has a shock collar for a leash. I see everyday on craigslist people that have dogs that run through those electronic collars to keep them in their yard to chase a squirrel ect.
I told her get your dog on a leash or get it off the apartment property. She says her dog can just run all over my yard peeing on everything because it has on a shock collar. I’m calling the city tomorrow about it, but I looked up the collar. Its a hunting training aide. Does that really count as a leash/collar? Or is that considered not having your dog restrained? There are little children in this apartment that use the yard, and if this dog decides to barrell out of her control on this collar then what? If its a hunting training device I assume the dog hunts. I have small animals, thats not too safe! I’ve had labradors chase me before aggressively, and neighbors have had some NASTY ones that have bitten people. I do not feel safe around a large labrador on some shock trainer loose in my yard.
