Off leash dog complaints

Forum Sponsor
Boxers are my favourite breed and I would have one if I had the time to take care of it. I have never heard bad things about them. I also admire a dog that is trained to heel.

That said, a lot of people don't know dogs. Some people are afraid of them in general and they don't know one breed from another.

Is it right that a sensitive person be in fear of an unleashed dog? Should the dog be allowed to run free but a person that had at one time been attacked have to be confined in their own home?

I say this because I once heard terrified screaming from outside my home and when I looked outside it was a little girl being growled at by a loose dog (Spaniel). As the girl screamed the dog became more agressive. Finally the owner came out and took the dog away. Is this right?

The same dog came up my driveway and did its territorial growl and bark at my then girlfriend. Fortunately it left before I got a shovel.

We have rights but they end when they infringe on the rights of others.

In a closed community I could understand your point of view but if the neighbourhood is open to all and there are no indoctination courses as to good and bad dogs they can't be allowed to run free.

Hey OP, my mother has a genuine fear of dogs. When she's walking on the street and she sees a dog being walked on a leash, she crosses the street and uses the other sidewalk, so that she is as far away from the dog as possible. I can only imagine if a friendly loose dog comes to sniff around her---she had a heart surgery some time ago, and I'm sure in that occasion she'll probably experience something that can be fatal for her. And before you get childish again and write something stupid about my mom, let me remind you that it is your choice to live in Canada, and if you don't like the laws, you're free to immigrate to some jungle, where you won't have a problem letting your dog run free in public.
 
Man you sure do flip flop a lot dude. You said you were going to walk with the leash off then leash on and now leash off.

Geez you're change your mind more than the canadian weather.
 
I didnt read all the posts (lazy),my dogs are allways on leash,anyway I was wondering when you let your dog out and he does his business who cleans up afterwards,maybe the person who complained had to clean up dog doo.
 
I find it funny he says they are harassing him, when in reality they are just doing their job. It truly shows what kind of idiot the OP is.

They are not doing there job.... they are going above and beyond to be the little b*****s they truly are.... kind of like you!
 
You're wrong. If they get a complaint, they have to follow it up, they have to tell you if it continues they will fine you. You think you're special and don't have to follow the law. It's obvious your neighbours don't like you, and i understand why they don't. But hey, you're so cool, you piss ice cubes, we get it. Lol

Buy one of those long spring loaded reel leashes. If the officers come by say you learned your lesson and you were using it... even if you were't ;) Can the neighbor really tell?

I have a neighbour like you. I tried to get things done the nice way but he insisted on being a dick... Wasn't worth my time and effort eventually so I let the bylaw people do their job....neighbour continued being a dick up until he realized it was costing him a ton of cash in fines. He wasn't a dick for too long. I'm sure he thought the bylaw guys were interfering ******** too when in reality they are mostly enforcing laws that keep society as a whole in a reasonably good state.

Why don't you just take your dog (on leash) to the off leash dog park and let him run around to his hearts content totally legally? Added bonus...the walk to the off leash park will be extra exercise for both of you.

So you find out who they are big deal, then what you try to be a dick to them and all they have to do is complain they saw your dog off leash again, and again even if it isn't true but because you were convicted once of it, you will be again, each time costing you money along with time off work. You lose not them.

+1

It seems even if the neighbor asked you politely you would still say no to leashing your dog.....
In that case I would do the same thing as you neighbor and let the authorities deal with it instead of a nice neighbor domestic dispute.

You do realize if bylaw gives you the ticket because they see you, your neighbor doesn't have to go to court.

It's not that simple... even if by-law officers see him with the dog off leash.
 
If the by-law officers see me with the dog off leash then yes only they have to go to court to prove there case... and that means making sure that it was MY dog with ME... just like any speeding ticket the officer has to prove without any doubt that it was you... so that would be fun in court.
Now, if it was someone who complained( which is in my case) then yes that person HAS to show up like any witness in case... now I highly doubt they would show up because they dont want me to know who they are, and yes me ending up being a d**k neighbour for the rest of there time there, cuz yes I would be one.... why? because I am actually a very good neighbour and the person who I think it is literally just moved in less then 6 months ago and has no idea.

I will speak to the guy though and if it isnt him then oh well... but when I see him, I am asking if he is the one who complained then take it from there, maybe nip it in the butt before it gets any further.
 
I'm curious...
how does someone go about 'being a dick neighbor' on purpose? What sort of things does someone do....??
I really can't understand how that would work... just be a nuisance.. and how....? constantly report the other person for every little thing...? or worse...? I don't get it.

And if your neighbour is as tenacious as you are about being a dick? How does that end?

I am just waiting until the OP, gets a knock on his front door from the OSPCA, possibly even from the MNR, good luck with either of those 2 agencies.....

Not going to happen... my dog would have to do some drastic things like that to happen, but that wont happen with him....but I appreciate the great wishes from you.
