Posted: Sat Jun 09, 2007 8:16 pm Post subject: My poor Echo got attacked!
We have been attaending agility classes for the last 8 weeksd she loves it! We were warned that the terrier was aggresive towrds other dogs so we all kept them a big distance apart. This week, Echo was on lead waiting her turn. The terrier was off lead doing the course and pelted it uncontrolled towards Echo, pinning her to the floor and biting her. I tried what seemed for ages to pull her away- we did eventually and she was shaken but not harmed. I am really mad because I feel the terrier should be muzzled when not on a lead but the owner doesn't muzzle him. I don't want to leave agility because it doesn't solve the problem- the terrier will probably go for another dog. Any advice please.
I would speak with the people who run the class as say its not on that your dog was attacked as for this other dog its owner should be told that it wears a muzzle or it hits the road
Hope that your dog is ok

Aww poor Echo, I agree with the others, a word with the trainer expressing your concerns is the best way to go about it... Good luck and I hope Echo wasn't too shaken by it...x
Following the incident- we all had to carry plastic shakers filled with pasta to act as a noise deterrent if the little git came near- he of course did not! He was also put on a long line. I am just worried he will do it again. If he does, I will probably loose my rag and have words with the owner and demand it is muzzled.

Hopefully the trainer knows enough to make sure this doesn't happen again. (((HUGS)))
