    It was a narrow path, and so she managed to get another kick in because we were still close enough for her to

    I'd have been getting a second kick in on her if she'd done that to my dog!

    Unbelievable. The more threads I read on here about ANY subject, I realise that the world today is full of complete nutters! (and i'm sure the UK is worse than lots of others). Just aggressive people completely unable to control their emotions.

    Having said all that, I believe in an eye-for-an-eye, and would have reacted to her violence in kind and probably shoved her into a bush or something.

    Hope the doggy's OK

    Tyson has perked up over the past few days so I don't think the kicks di any physical damage.

    However...

    We were at his training class today and doing some off lead work. He decided to go and try and get some of the other dogs to play, so I had to call him back. He came back to me when I called him, and sat in front of me to have his lead put back on. I was stood on the wrong side of him and reached over to clip his lead on and he cowered from me :(

    He did that for the first couple of weeks I had him, when I either leant over him or raised my arms, but hasn't done it in the past year.

    A bit later on he ran off again, and when I called him to me he ran as though he was terrified. I eventually got him to stand so I could go over and clip his lead on, and again he cowered.

    It may be nothing related at all, but it has upset me as he has not done this for over a year now.

    Grr!
