Hiya all,
I was wondering if anybody had any advice about the following problem. I am UK based and can't find any info on the web, all info seems to based around stray dogs or aimed at their owners.
The problem is that in our local public park, where many people walk their dogs, one owner just seems to let their dog out of the front door in the morning.
The dog is a staffie, although he hasn't shown any real aggression he makes a beeline for any other dog in the park to play with which generally results in the staffie chasing and humping. Without the staffie's owner being there this usually results in the other dogs being led away from their play / park. For example, and the reason I am posting this today, I took my 5 month old pup to the park for a game of fetch off lead whilst no other dogs were around (we are still working on the recall command, and she seems to make a beeline for all other dogs to play with so an empty park was perfect). The staffie made an appearance which I didn't realise until he'd come right up to us. Luckily having just been working on the recall command Clova came (eventually) when called but not until the staffie had chased and tried numerous time to hump her - and a bit more :eek:...
I know part of this problem is my training with pup, however I was wondering what options myself and other owners have with regards to the staffie. He doesn't have a collar so no ID, I know a number of other owners have reported him to the RSPCA, and apparently he lives near by so isn't a stray. He's not aggressive other than the humping, no biting (thank god), and will go back to the park once other dogs have been led away.
It's becoming a real pain, please help
