To let their bratty kids run after my dogs! Took Jake & Heidi out today and had them both off lead, spotted a man with 3 children so walked further away from them due to past experiences with brats charging at my lot. Well the eldest 1 of them decided to run at heidi so she started to bark, jake ran over to say hello but then the younger 2 ran at him which scared the crap out of him so he started barking too (he was so confused) then the kids got scared & started screaming but then thought it was a game to chase them while screaming! The parent then asked his brats to 'leave the little dogs alone incase they bite'
Felt like handing him their leads and telling him to control his kids.
This type of thing happens ALL the time heidis so freaked out by kids because of all the bad experiences. Reallys pees me off I need a huge dog to walk with my lot that would sort it out

I have NO idea but I feel your frustration. People just swoop down on them! On lead, or off! Then, if the dog barks or god forbid snarls, they huff off, certain you have an aggressive dog! I hate it most at shows that rude people come up and just slap their greasy hands all over my dogs before I even get to say "please don't, they are about to show". UGH. And Oakley is shy but everyone wants to pet her. JUST LEAVE THEM ALONE!

I just hope that if I decide to have kids in the future that the dogs aren't freaked out by them. The fact that they managed to scare Jake really wound me up because hes so confident i'd hate for him to become fearful of people. Heidi is shy too and once some girls were fussing them and I asked them to only stroke heidi if she approaches them and go under the chin not over the head but they did the exact opposite and I saw her lip curl, I kept warning them and their parents heard me but did nothing.
That must be so annoying at shows, i've only been to companian ones but had a few people actually just pick my dogs up off the ground without asking. My boss has show poodles and god help anyone that touches their coats lol

I have the same problem! Daisy is bomb proof she is amazing some kid yanked her ears she cried and came to me but she is seriously bomb proof! Lotus is a whole different ball game she barks at everyone new (although people who have seen her at a show will say I'm lying because she doesn't bark LOL) she will take a certain amount then starts growling I am trying to make her bomb proof too but it doesn't seem to be happening LoL

Jake loves people but both the girls can be a bit nervous, daisy will bark at new people too. Since Heidi was spayed though shes got so confident again, she actually ran up to someone to say hello then peed on the floor haha!
