<p>Sounds like your baby is doing better. I am not enabling or making excuses but your neighbor might feel bad about the situation and just simply was so caught up at the time of the incident that she failed to apologize. Things like that can be unnerving and scary. Glad you guys are doing better and maybe your Wheaten neighbor is laying low for a bit ! ^..^</p>

<p>Things went better tonight. I was liberal with the buddy biscuits and she decided walking was a very good idea. I haven't seen the other dog at all today. Haven't heard his bell go by while I've been inside either. I've been trying not to dwell on the attack, but I keep what iffing.</p>

<p>You deal with it by minimizing it in your own mind, the dog is responsive to your thinking and will adjust sooner if you can do that. It is not a question of what kind of act you can put on for the dog.... the dog will see through that. If you are either fearful for her, or about her reactions, and if you keep replaying it in your mind, it will compound the issue and the effects will last longer. :-)</p>

<p>I haven't called animal control. Another neighbor told me that the dog owner has bad rheumatoid arthritis, worsening the control problem. When school starts next week I will be on a set walk schedule and it should be easier to avoid them. The bell on the terrier's collar will help.</p>

<p>When we walked this morning Becca was fine. She spent time sniffing where the attack happened. This afternoon she was done walking as soon as she went potty. She was like "Ok, let's go back to the house now." She seemed much more unsure of herself. I didn't push it and took a shortcut back, after about 1/4 mile. How do I deal with fear issues that may pop up?</p> Honestly we've been charged b…tag:mycorgi.com,2012-08-20:1150197:Comment:16061272012-08-20T19:08:36.943ZBethhttp://mycorgi.com/profile/Beth306
Honestly we've been charged by dogs that got away from their owner more than once: a shepherd mix just knocked his owner down, and a pit bull slipped his harness. Both times, charging and yelling the dog sent him on his way; most dogs that are dog-aggressive are not also human-aggressive.<br />
<br />
I might gently ask my friend if her mom would like some help finding a trainer and honestly I would probably let it go too. I have looked down to find an empty leash with my own dogs once or twice.<br />

Rabies is a non-issue if your dog is vaccinated. If it went at a person I would call animal control, but so many dogs are not really trustworthy around other dogs that I'm not sure they'd do much anyway and you may be surprised that your friend sides with Mom once authorities become involved... I would let it go. Your frie…tag:mycorgi.com,2012-08-20:1150197:Comment:16057742012-08-20T16:33:57.565ZAnna Morellihttp://mycorgi.com/profile/AnnaMorelli
<p>I would let it go. Your friend and her mother need to come to terms with this situation and you have already offered advice. I would walk elsewhere for awhile, or change the time I walk and let things sort themselves out. You can find a loose dog anywhere, so know what you would do in that case.

Pepper spray can backfire and harm your own dog. I find that yelling at an oncoming dog and picking up something to throw in its direction, often deters an approaching loose dog, but I go the other way if I see a loose dog at a distance. The chances that this particular dog has rabies is indeed slim..... even if not up to date on vaccinations, I would relax about that too.</p> I agree with Lemmy "I'd call…tag:mycorgi.com,2012-08-20:1150197:Comment:16056632012-08-20T16:08:27.105ZSebastianhttp://mycorgi.com/profile/Sebastian
<p>I agree with Lemmy "<span>I'd call and ask to see vet work to prove the dog received rabies shot, and tell them you want to see because skin was broken. I wouldn't be polite but firm. "</span></p>

<p><span>After that is taken care you can deal with the rest.</span></p>
