With all the publicity !!  Did he photo the number plate on his phone?  Bit of a shake up too, is cockerpoo OK

[jaypo]

Omg songbird, I would have been terrified,my dogs are so small,they would've been panicking too,that's sometimes when dogs attack,they smell the fear,he should definitely report it,it's just not on

[Songbird]

Our wee boy is fine thanks ladies.
OH didn't have his phone with him CLKD  ...
Tell you what, it does make me wonder what would have happened if one had gone for our boy. Regulations need to be brought in now. No more faffing about 
Blinking muppets!

Get your OH to write to your local Head of Police and the MP in your area.  LA too, as all pro dog walkers have to be resisted and insured.  It's like back-street breeding, the LAs are rarely bothered to check 

[jaypo]

Glad your little dog is ok songbird but like you say,what if one them had a go,the chances are the rest would've joined in,it really is unacceptable,I'd pick him up if I were you,if there's a next time,better safe etc

[Songbird]

Absolutely ladies.
And, if it ever happens again,  I’ll pick up our wee boy and kick the dog walker’s a***e 

[jaypo]

Don't think I'd be able to hold my tongue songbird,believe me,after seeing my wee dog grabbed by the throat and being shaken,that image never leaves you

I sent an e-mail on Sunday to the LA - apparently I got the 'wrong dept.', by the time my message had got through they thought that I was complaining about a local incident.

NOPE.  I tried to explain that I wanted to know what the LA are doing about controlling professional dog walkers. Apparently they have to be registered with the LA as well as having appropriate insurance - and can walk no more than 4 dogs at a time.

I've now been asked to send an e-mail explaining what I really want to know  .  I tried to explain that I think our local Council should lead the UK regarding instigating Laws regarding the number of dogs at one time: it has to begin somewhere!

A police dog trainer of 25 years said in the news that,the most large dogs to walk safely together is  two and I agree,if you have more than two,what happens if two of them start fighting? All your energies go into stopping them,then you have the rest of the pack not fully under your control

[CLKD]

How can any1 pick up poo when walking more than 1 dog anyway  . 

[Songbird]

Couldn't agree more Jaypo. 2 is more than enough!
Good point, CLKD, re poo. There is no chance that these characters are cleaning up after 6-8 dogs

I love how Graham gets to the gist of problems, usually it's the owners ;-).  A singing JR - mine used to sing as soon as I got either the recorder or clarinet from the case: too high a pitch for her ears.  Well, I think it was 

[jaypo]

Me me , I walk two dogs and ALWAYS pick up their poo,mind you,it be little poop
