Not really. A dog running my horses or messing with my dogs didn't last to long either. A running dog is a dead dog in our part of the country.

One of my biggest pet peeves is dogs on the ice. Especially males because they are apt to pee on equipment which is exactly what happened to our group two weekends ago. I love dogs and own two but they do not belong around my fishing equipment.

Its a big lake don't need to set up right next to me and my dog.

Your dog shouldnt be bothering strangers in public no matter what. You are responsible for controlling it.

Truthfully, dogs are only as smart as their master. This tells me a lot about some people.

Not many people understand how strays form packs and terrorize and kill for sport. We kept our cattle safe, just as we do for mangy coyotes

When they form packs around here, farmers round them up, corner them and lay them out.

Same here. Dogs would harass cattle on our farm or our neighboring farms and would be shot for doing so. Can't be downing/crippling thousands of dollars worth of cattle without consequences.

Owners need to control their animals. Period.

Sadly to say, we have to live with people who couldn't care less about you or respect what you are doing. I was on the ice fishing and along came three dogs with their owner, on a stroll and the dogs went to my tip ups and "Marked" their spot. Owner said and did nothing even though I commented to her about what had happened. Had to wash everything off before continuing.
