Well just been for what started as a nice walk with the boys and went to the little park down the road where there is a little area thats almost fully enclosed where i can let Chance off the lead to practise some recall which he was doing brilliantly!

Anyway after a bit a lot of people started walking past as there was a footy match on down the road, so getting Chance to come back to me, all going well until some kids opened the gate at the top of this area (nothing wrong with that) they then screamed and ran round and away from Chance leaving the gate open, of course Chance chased them but i got him to stop and come back to me! (very proud of him for that) they then started throwing stones at the boys threw the fence

Then someone took a short cut through this area (again fine) called Chance to me and held his harness as he has a habit of jumping up without any warning and headbutting people Harvey i told to wait which he did, the man the walked 'through' harvey throwing him to the side! and THEN walked past me and Chance and punched Chance in the face as he walked past. Now i have no patience for people as i'm sure most of you will know and i won't repeat what i said, but Chance will not have strange people touch never mind that so he went, well mental and it's a good job i had hold of him as i won't like to think what he'd have done.

Anyway calmed them down gave treats etc off they went playing again, only for three other kids to start tormenting them through the fence with sticks and trying to stab them as the boys ran past, again won't repeat what i said (and before anyone says anything about swearing at kids seriously keep it to yourself i DO NOT care) they were having a right laugh until both boys jumped the 4 ish fence and they very quickly left.

Anyway sorry for the essay but very pissed off with people today but very proud of the boys especially Chance for coming back to me in each incident.

*le sigh*

How dare people treat dogs like that!!

Sad that kids will, they have obviously not been taught about respect for anyone. Dread to think what kind of parents they will turn out to be.
Glad your two were so good though

Thanks

Really??? He actually hit your dog!?!?!? How dare he! W4nker!
As for the kids, I don't blame you at all for the language, sadly its probably the only language they understand! Such a shame that they have been dragged up to believe taunting dogs is ok, instead of being taught to respect them
You must be fuming


But also very proud! Well done you gorgeous pair of boys x

Oh god your poor boys, kids have no respect and as for the bloke sounds like he deserved a punch in the face, i have had a kid repeatedlytry to kick grizz before and ended up in a row with his mum, theres just no need for it. Hope your all ok now though and well done chance for coming back to mum!

Yep full on in the face he's quite lucky i had hold of Chance as i'd of floored him, which i've been known to do in the past

Well true! I am in a very bad mood now but just bathed the boys which is always fun so they've cheered me up

Thanks!

Was it an on purpose punch? I think any children near by would've learnt some very undesriable words if it had been me. And if was like on purpose I'd phone the police. What a complete..... (fill in the blank)

Oh yes very much on purpose as he turned to look to see if Chance felt it he must have been desperate to get to his footy game

Well done to your dogs for being so good and well done you for now grabbing the kids and burying them !!!!!
In the past i was out with my dogs (offlead) and some kids came along and were trying to get the dogs to follow them when i had called dogs to me, when the dogs came to me i put them on lead and told the kids if they wanted to play with my dogs then all they had to do was ask,, they did and i got them involed with some recall/etc with my dogs, i was really proud of my dogs and these kids, who i hope learnt to respect dogs,,
