I mean it’s just the comments I’m reading here.

I’m well aware of my dogs triggers and don’t take her around other dogs.

I’m just saying that there is such a large amount of people who are not FBI trained to handle weapons proclaiming that they carry when they walk their dogs and aren’t afraid to use it against an aggressive animal. I can see someone not waiting until anything even happened to use their gun.

The easiest way to prevent these things from happening is to know your dog and their triggers, but also just avoid letting dogs on leashes greet each other. This is why most attacks happen.

Maybe train your dog?

She is trained, she’s been attacked and abused before I rescued her. But thanks for the advice!

Like I said, it’s not my dog attacking someone that worries me — she is always in a muzzle and I have full control of her on the leash. I’m worried that someone will get trigger happy just seeing an aggressive dog bark.

I don’t bring my dog around others, but we’ve had unleashed dogs with zero recall run up at us causing her to freak out. Again, she won’t do any damage because she’s in a muzzle, but how is the other person supposed to see that if they’re farther away yelling at their dog with zero recall to come back?

Guns aren’t the solution here, it’s the dog owners who don’t understand how dogs work.
