i hear that detailchick. the little dogs can be fearless. before i retired from my PD, i was bitten by one of our k-9s when the handler unknowingly released him into an apt. where i was attempting to arrest a drug dealer. the dealer saw the dog coming and locked himself in a bathroom, with me dancing with the k-9 in a bedroom. he hit my inner thigh, just missing the family jewels. whewww! needless to say, that left a mark. the dog did actually save the dealer's life when he dove out one of the 2nd story windows and the dog caught him by the ankle as he dangled outside the window. turned out to be the brother of a dirtbag who killed two of our officers years earlier. go figure.Love Henny Janes new pic!
I love dogs but last week one of my customers dogs attacked me for no reason! Luckily it only tore my pant leg and wouldnt let go .The owner had to pull the neurotic dog off me.
The dog was only about 6 "high and jumped at my mid inner thigh area,luckily my pants were a little loose and he didnt bite my leg but he wanted to the little b******! :rant:
Its always the little dogs that turn viscious!![]()

What a wild story Steve!That bite must have really hurt ! Glad the jewels were safe!i hear that detailchick. the little dogs can be fearless. before i retired from my PD, i was bitten by one of our k-9s when the handler unknowingly released him into an apt. where i was attempting to arrest a drug dealer. the dealer saw the dog coming and locked himself in a bathroom, with me dancing with the k-9 in a bedroom. he hit my inner thigh, just missing the family jewels. whewww! needless to say, that left a mark. the dog did actually save the dealer's life when he dove out one of the 2nd story windows and the dog caught him by the ankle as he dangled outside the window. turned out to be the brother of a dirtbag who killed two of our officers years earlier. go figure.
I dont really fault the owner but your right they knew the dogs abnormally protective and were trying to socialize him I guess.It's been my experience that it's more a factor of the owner then the dog. Most owners do not know how to properly train their dogs or not willing to invest the time, hence the problem. And to compound the issue, the client's dog that attacked you detailchick probably already knew about that problem but decided to ignore it.
I spend a ton of time training my dog and work with a trainer weekly - it's part of owning a dog. People always comment on how well behaved Remi is - gee, I wonder why? BTW, as with most sheppards she's very protective so I'm literally forced to have a well disciplined pup - otherwise no one could get close to her or me-not what I want. Sorry for the rant but I hear about this almost everyday and it's the f'n owners that are at the source of the problem, especially with those little "toy" dogs. Glad no damage was done detailchick!
Thanks for the advice! I usually do try to talk to the dog and reassure him everythings ok. This time I will try your approach.If I might offer some advise, don't acknowledge the dog for even a second. No eye contact at all, no talking or trying to calm the dog...literally zero recognition for the entire duration-as if the dog does NOT exist. If you have to look in the dog's direction to speak with the owner, look over the dog's head. The dog should calm itself and assuming it does, continue your entire stay with this ZERO recognition policy - try this little test as I'm pretty sure it will get the dog to stop barking. (do not try and make friends with the dog even if it calms down-not on this go around anyway) The goal here is for the dog to ignore you in the same way you're ignoring him/her. Please let me know how this works out.
He looks a lot like that stuffed animal Troy posted!![]()
