This attitude reminds me of the attitude of owners of male dogs who allow their males to sniff the backend and then try to mount our females, and then get pissed when our females turn and snap at their males. Or act like we have "the typical b***h" when our females are snarling at their posturing (sex crazed) males as they approach. Not all male dogs are like this and not all owners of male dogs are like this; but many are.
My attitude?
Now you're just throwing out anecdotal examples, seruptiously trying to demonize my dogs behavior because I took a different position on the OP's claim.
Why are you suggesting or assuming things that my dog does?
1. He's neutered. The drive has been removed.
2. He's never more than 5 feet from me as he's been trained.
3. He's not allowed to run around unless he's somewhere where that's allowed, like the beach or park.
4. No butt sniffing (yeah, I know. A male that doesn't sniff butts. How can this be?) He simply doesn't do it because he knows he's not allowed.
He just walks next to me. By and large, the vast majority of dogs we run into are fine. It's not a "recurring" problem as some else quipped.
It's the occasional OTHER dog that give the aggressive "stay away or I'll tear you apart growl". And the owner is usually along the lines of "Yep, he (or she) doesn't like other dogs around and might snap. Really? And you bring this dog out in public with other dogs and people? I question the who the truly irresponsible owners are.
