What a shame people can't walk thier dogs on a leash but other people who don't bother even having them in a yard get away with it. I just walked the shelties and got attacked by 2 labs so I just let the older sheltie go and got the little one outta the situation. These dogs are always in there yard never loose so was not expecting this at all. Although the owner did come running out he was worried that there might be damage told him he was lucky this time only a stand off. So I took a different route home only to be charged by a large german shepherd which is also normally in it's yard. Teeth were bared so I let go of the leash as Nova would attack if this dog came at me. Gave me a chance to get Nyla and myself outta there and then call Nova at least he has good recall. But my heart is racing, have to walk Neva but the dogs I'm looking after aren't going for a walk think we'll play ball in their yard instead...Jill
