Nashville Dog Poop Removal Tips: Dog Walking

September 3rd, 2010

When pet owners talk, the Nashville dog poop removal team listens to tips about their animals.  One frequent issue is that dog walkers have encountered unleashed animals in their daily routines.  The unleashed dogs make both the owner and dog uneasy and poses the question: What do you do if a loose dog comes over to you and your dog?  Thoughts of fear and intimidation  could come up especially if you have a small dog and the one coming toward you is much larger or aggressive.

I do not always keep my dog on a lead but I have a rule I always use when I am out with her.  If she is off the lead and I see another dog with it’s owner if that dog is off the lead I keep it the same. I make the assumption that the other dogs owner knows their dog is all right interacting with other dogs.  However if the owner has their dog on a lead I then put a lead on my dog. The reason for this is to calm the animals and owners.

There are times when you need to deal with dogs who’s owner is either not responsible or is not around in there situations I believe there are a number of options you might consider taking.

Dog with owner

If you come across an aggressive dog off its lead but with the owner then it might be worth having a quick word with the owner and suggesting he keep his dog on a lead when other dogs are around.

Aggressive dogs

If you are lightly to come across aggressive dogs on your walk then there are three things I would recommend you could carry with you to deter an attack.

Pepper spray

You can get dog safe pepper spray which when used will cause the dog discomfort and stop the initial attack.  The spray also acts as a deterrent from future attacks.  If a dog recognizes you as someone who has caused him discomfort, he/she should avoid you in the future.  The spray should only be used in extreme situations and avoided unless absolutely necessary to avoid an attack.

Ultra sonic alarm

You can buy ultra sonic alarms that can be heard by dogs but not people.  These types of sounds will cause the dog to get distracted and the sound will not be pleasant to him but should cause no permanent harm.

Carry a stick

This is an option you could consider a walking stick waved at a dog as it starts to become aggressive can often deter an attack, and might stop the situation developing further.  Never hit any animal as it might provoke increased anger toward you.  Use common sense in any situation as you may cause your own situation.

Call the dog warden

Whatever tactic you decide to take you should call the dog warden or animal welfare as soon as you are able to, the dog might be lost and hungry or it might attack someone who is not as prepared so reporting it might help it and save someone the heartache of loosing a loved pet.
