I also agree with C-dub on this. I have 3 dogs, a 3 legged pit bull, a golden, and a 15lb heinz 57. All of which are kept in the house, back yard or on a leash. All except the small one (she is new to the family) will not go into the small entry way when someone is at the door. They will wait on the carpet in the living room (8' away from the door) and watch.C-dub wrote:Do not let your dogs off leash off of your property or when not in a fenced yard. I do not and expect others to not do this either. My dogs are not dangerous unless they or I am attacked. If someone is dumb enough to attack or kick my dog I will be the least of their problems. My dog will respond much quicker than I could.
A few months ago we had a salesman ring the doorbell, I went to the door and as always, left the storm door closed between us. as we are talking, this guy reaches and opens the storm door. Before I could say anything, both of the big dogs were between me and the door, still inside the house and not attacking but showing teeth and growling. This nut starts to pull out a can of mace to spray them with. Iquickly explained the consequences he would face if he did this and he closed the door and put the mace away. He them told me that I should keep my dogs under control. I laughed and told him he should quit trying to break into other peoples housed or entering without being asked. He said I would have to prove it and he was going to take me to court. I then said no problem and pointed to the video camera I have on my porch. Haven't heard from him since.
