huski Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 (edited) Me too Nik, it was so awful hearing her crying and yelping when he was attacking her, she was so scared it was terrible Lucky BC4ME was quick to act (when the owner wasn't!) and was able to grab him. Daisy is the sweetest dog, not timid or fearful in any way so I really hope it doesn't impact on her confidence. The owners will hopefully come back next week and I will refer them to a good behaviourist here who works with a lot of DA dogs. I know what it's like to have a DA dog and it is awful, but can be so much easier with the right guidance. ETA: Thanks Tiggy. My poor baby. The dog that attacked her ran over to two dogs on a tie out first and wasn't aggressive towards them at all, so when he ran towards Daisy I thought I'd grab him to stop him running off any further, then he ripped into her I don't know if it was because the other two dogs were bigger than he was and Daisy was smaller. If I had any inclination he was aggro I would have tried to body block him from getting near Daisy instead of trying to grab him There were kids there who saw it and they started crying! It was terrible. Edited March 8, 2010 by huski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mas1981 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 huski said: Poor Daisy was attacked at obedience club tonight A newbie dog got off leash and ripped into her. The owner froze and went and hid in the club house while it was happening. The dog had no collar on (slipped it) so it was hard to grab it. Luckily Daisy is physically ok. I really hope this doesn't impact on her easiness around other dogs, she is so tolerant and generally nonplussed with other dogs, I would hate for her to lose that. I feel so upset, after what happened to Micha I have tried so hard to make sure nothing like that ever happens to Daisy and this is the first time she's ever experienced a dog attacking her How awful! I experienced the same thing, my lab was attacked by a dog and the owner was too scared to grab it, my dog was still on lead and he managed to slip his collar and outrun the attacking dog until I could call him through some gates and shut the aggressive dog out. I was so afraid that Mason would be scared of other dogs after but luckily he is as trusting of other dogs as he was before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spotted Devil Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Bloody hell huski It's horrible isn't it. Hopefully her strong social skills will stand her in good stead. Can you get her out there with a similar breed but a nice dog? Owners definitely need educating *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huski Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 She seemed fine with other dogs tonight that I let her greet etc, we don't tend to socialise with or play with other dogs at dog school and Daisy is a bit disinterested in other dogs generally. I'm more worried about how she will react if another dog rushes up towards her as that's what happened with the DA dog tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Oh noooo poor Daisy!!! Dog attacks are just awful I hope she is ok and hasn't left any lasting effects on her confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pie Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Poor Daisy. Hope there are no lasting effects. What exactly is running away and hiding in the clubhouse going to achieve? Can't believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pie Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 In training related news - I submitted my first ever trial entry form today Novice Jumping. We'll see how we go on the 17th I'm a bit nervous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pie Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I was going to enlist your services to create a distraction far away from the Novice Jumping ring so that no one watches our run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pie Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 An explosion of some sort should do it! Wonder where I could get some explosives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RallyValley Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I was thinking that we could do a very sneaky diversion and for the first person in (probably you) I can pretend to faint and Rubystar can start screaming for help really hysterically... Then when I am in we can pretend that Lincoln is a lost puppy... and you yell really loudly... but no one can know hes mine or they will look at me in the ring... so maybe Rubystar can put some lab hair in a bag and we can make Lincoln a lab coat.......

pie Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 You've obviously put a lot more thought into this than I have Valley I just went for the easy explosives plan but yours is much more elaborate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RallyValley Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Well I am gifted at being a troublemaker! In all seriousness is it Southern River where there is no instructor you just do equipment? If so I think I might join to get some practice with the tyre, collapsed tunnel and longer sequences. I have Toby entered but if I can't get his focus or I feel I'm losing him I will be pulling out straight away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 How about I just set Ruby loose when you're both in the ring? Easy plan, foolproof. She will make sure she goes up to each and every dog and person, causing major distractions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monday they have agility classes and Thursday after obedience they set up equipment and do their own thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RallyValley Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Maybe... did you find out if its ok for you to join half way through the term? It is nice and local... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptolomy Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I have the perfect answer I will just bring Cider and walk away from the car with one of the other kids. That will cause her to go into meltdown and elicit the most ear piercing scream you have ever heard - all attention is guaranteed to be turned from any ring towards my car where everybody will want to know who is murdering the sweet little child.
