i can give many reason my dogs should have biten people for the things they do but 1 example is my dane princess n i walk down our block n 1 of my neighbors want to play with my dane n ask me if he could(by the way princess at the time wasnt in the mood to chat she was aviding everyone n didnt want to b touched n was tried from a long 45min walk) so i told the no n i continue to walk the, the guy felt like i was b mean to me r something n apearch her from between n try to turn around her saying that she like's him n wouldnt mind his company at same time she turned around so fast that she knocked me aside and try to bite his hand thank god i was still holding the lease r the guy wouldnt have a hand(i think it was a warning becusae when he give her place her walked away) if it was my shepherd it would b a different story my shepherd would of leaped at him n gone after him n even my cc doesnt like being touched by strangers n he,s only 5mons

so do you have a similar story ?

Kona is gorgeous! I see what you mean, "the business face." My pet peeve is little kids who run up to dogs because their parents/family did not teach them to NOT approach a dog that you do not know. Kids should be taught the correct way to approach a dog. Hell, even some adults need instruction on how to approach a dog.

Titan likes kids but he has to approach them first. I've learned Titan does not like people/kids/dogs charging him, i.e. running up to him, walking fast up to him.

Its just amazing how many people dont know how to approach dogs big or small!!!! they always go right to the head by the mouth.....duhhh big no no..I tell people to pet her back and always watch your face. The pro's of our dogs is that they are big and some people are intimidated but the cons are the idiots who are so interested in big dogs they get all excited and forget how to approach. So far i havent had any problems but grazefull1 you warned him!!!!!

Chuckorlando those are some serious pics...I would want to meet her in a dark alley....shes beautiful and I can appreciate her warning people off

DITTO- brain works way faster then hands.
We had an incident yesterday well walking Murphy. I know that if I see a dog, I will ask permission to pet. Have taught my 3 kids never shy away from dogs but always ask and NEVER pet a dog tied up out side of stores etc.

So Murphy is learning not to lunge/bark at people (2 1/2 yr old EM, adopted 2 1/2 weeks ago). This IDIOT starts running AT us, and I mean directly at us. Murphy went nuts. My husband had to get in between this guy and Murphy because Murphy was going NUTS! Who does that, there's a 'HUGE HORSE DOG' so lets run at it!

As my daughter would say 'shake your head"

Yeah, my english mastiff is mostly very sweet and calm, but sometimes very engeretic children scare him, causing him to sometimes act mean, lol. And its sooooooo true about how adults and their children, most dont approach dogs correctly. But most of the time he's pretty good, I tried to socialize him a lot as a puppy, but he stills has some random occasional people that he wants absolutly nothing to do with lol.

And the strangest thing is car rides, which he LOVES.... and when he's in the car he's fine, when hes out of the car he's fine, but if you approach my car and try to pet him through the window (even if im there saying its ok)..... he becomes an entire new dog, and is unglued. He snaps and growls.... lol strange...
