Re: [cayugabirds-l] Of Unleashed Dogs and Waterthrushes
This sure stirred up a can of worms. I remember one person once was mentioning how his dog had flushed out snipe. And another woman at Monkey run reassuring me her dog who was racing through the woods wouldn’t bother us he only loved hunting and killing chipmunks. As a dog owner who always has her dog leashed it would be impossible for me to even keep count of the number of “perfect “ unleashed dogs have suddenly completely gone off script and approached my dog with much aggressive posturing. I feel a total anxiety attack while walking my dog and I have never been afraid of dogs. It is inconceivable tinned how people can do totally disregard both signs and the comfort of others. And the impact of their canines on the woodland creatures off trail. I am wondering if the unleashed dogs who behave always stay at their owners sides. Linda Orkin living near Sapsucker woods. And also witnessing dogs there. And having people come very close to my face to retrieve their growling dogs. On Mon, Apr 27, 2020 at 7:47 AM Glenn Wilson wrote: > Shepherds are the worst.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Of Unleashed Dogs and Waterthrushes
Yes, this is an on-going problem. My dogs are always on leash when not in the house or a contained area (such as an indoor arena where they are the only dogs running loose). Right now, one of my dogs is a German shepherd. I have had German shepherds for decades and mine would NEVER have done what was described in this email. It's the owner and what the owner allows and trains (or doesn't train) for. I would just nail one of my dogs if they did something like that (but never abuse my dogs). On the other hand, mine are on leash. But many, many dog owners seem to think that everyone loves their dogs and all dogs and that "dogs are born to be free" and all that crap. They can't bring themselves to constrain, restrain, or limit their dogs in any way. I don't take my dogs to the dog park anymore because there are some macho men who think it's cool and exciting when 5 of their pitbull, shepherds, and mastiffs gang up on my one shepherd. Probably the same owners who let their dog jump on you. I'm really sorry that this is happening to people and that certain breeds have gotten bad reputations because of the owners. Shepherds and pitbulls want to please and are protective, so it's easy to train them in certain behaviors or allow certain behaviors without correction. It's not the dog, it's the owners. Again, I'm sorry.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Of Unleashed Dogs and Waterthrushes
Rude, nasty, or clueless people and their off-leash dogs are an increasingly big problem everywhere. It is our main public problem at Salt Point. Lansing has clearly posted “dogs must be on leash” law. A Lansing resident and former judge who is a Commissioner at NY state parks has also said it’s one of the biggest problems that state parks face, even though there’s posted laws about keeping dogs on leashes. It is starting to happen in Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario, too, but the people seem better mannered than here in “Wild West” USA. People can’t seem to leave dogs at home anymore. And those who have little knowledge about nesting & displaying birds have no idea about how their dog is naturally inclined to gobble up birds & other critters. Many just Think of these parks as big dog runs where the law does not apply to them.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Of Unleashed Dogs and Waterthrushes
Shepherds are the worst. Pitt Bulls scare me to death. I’ve had way too many run-ins with Shepard’s lunging at me gnashing their teeth holding me against rivers and lakes. All dogs are great to their owners. Lots of dogs are friendly and harmless but I’ve even had a muddy lab (one of the best breads) jump on my back and nearly knock me over because I didn’t see it coming. Dogs keep me from birding many hotspots. I won’t mention how I protect myself.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Of Unleashed Dogs and Waterthrushes
As the owner of a *well-behaved *dog who prefers to be unleashed and leaves other people alone, I'm very sorry this happened to you. Inconsiderate jackasses like that ruin it for the rest of us.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Of Unleashed Dogs and Waterthrushes
Nice poem! One of your dog men at least said sorry. At Hog hole the other day, ignoring all the signs that say dogs-on-leash-only, a man unleashed his oversized filthy dog, and it rushed at and jumped at my wife, who was quite scared, as she tried to defend herself and fend it off. The man did not say one word of apology, evidently could not care less. I wanted to bash his head in, or that of his dog, but did neither. The stupid dogs aren't guilty of course, it's the dogs' masters. There is something profoundly unseemly and deeply intolerant in how these people wield their dog slaves to insult and impose on others, both on other people, and on wildlife. --yrs.

Around the trails of six-mile creek I passed two groups with dogs. The first dog came a-leapin' at my thigh, against my wish. The owners said their sorries as they feigned to tend its leash. The second dog, also unleashed, was sniffing as it roamed, an area where a Waterthrush had surveyed for a home. Meanwhile from way up in the tree the Waterthrush did sing, O'er heavy rain and rushing creek the melody did ring. The song seemed more insistent, although I can't be sure, As if announcing to the world, "hey dog, get outta here!" Both dog and man soon left the scene, no harm it seems inflicted.
