Paul is in my killfile, has Muttley attacked another dog?
A few weeks ago (a bit over a month, I think) Paul took him to an off-
leash socialization event and he attacked a young black lab. The dog
wasn't seriously injured. Whether or not a person takes classes is
their business (and you're right, I wouldn't want him in my class
either - especially since anything that happens is the instructors
fault and he blames them online, along with publishing their webpage
along with his whining). Additionally, I don't think he's capable of
using good judgement and not creating dangerous situations. But
whether or not he addresses the dog's issues through training, I think
it's just abhorrent to continue to place other dogs at risk in his
desire to socialize the dog. Not all dogs are appropriate for off-
leash play with strange dogs, and many dogs are not appropriate for on-
leash, nose-to-nose greetings with strange dogs. If you know you have
a dog who has issues in this area, it's your responsibility to keep
other people's pets safe, as well as your own. But I know you know
that, Diddy. Unfortunately, Paul doesn't get it at all, and continues
to put dogs at risk.
