I Got Bitten Today
"J1Boss" wrote: A former client has tried to talk a current client (one with a dog who has BITTEN) into using him to walk and exercise her dogs. I told her that under NO cirumstances should she do that. A lawsuit waiting to happen, along with a serious injury It's a miracle that he's managed, for so long, to avoid being sued- aside from the issue of biting, jumping on, chasing, and otherwise bothering humans, dogs in his "care" have: Gotten lost at the parks- one dog was lost for two days, another one was picked up by traveling salesmen on Falls Rd. and taken to the Ownings Mills police station; gotten out of his yard - which is small, NOT securely fenced, and where he leaves multiple dogs unsupervised- and run both around the neighborhood and on to York Road; gotten loose at their owner's houses; bolted after wildlife and gotten out onto Falls Road; and attacked and bitten other dogs. Not to mention the injury potential of some of his ways of handling the dogs, including leaving them unattended in his car for extended periods (he runs nearly all his personal errands with client dogs in the car) and off-leash brace-hooking dogs who aren't trained to it. He nearly killed a Cavalier last summer by brace-hooking it with a Labrador; the Labrador bolted up the middle of the creek after ducks, both strangling and nearly drowning the Cav. According to the story I was told- by the much more responsible person who's now walking the dog- the poor little thing needed the dog equivalent of CPR. I'm fairly sure, from what happened when somebody caught one of the dogs he was walking trespassing on her property and called the police- this was about three years ago - that part of why he's managed to escape scot-free so far is that one of his clients (he walks her dog 7 days a week) is a judge. :-P At least he's no longer using a shock collar without owner permission or knowlege, AFAIK. |
