[QUOTE="Ring Sport, post: 1421778, member: 55172"] Loose dogs don't worry me as much as the dog that is going nuts in the house. At least with a loose dog your able to size it up and have some time to figure their disposition. A dog that happens to run out as someone is answering the door you have just a split second to make that decision. As the homeowner says "he won't hurt you". Had a situation a while back where I knew they had a dog that I didn't trust. The homeowner (wife) was carrying in groceries and had the front door wide open. I thought I could quietly sneak up there and leave the package for her to see on her next trip to the car for the rest of her groceries. She saw me and started talking to me. Here comes the dog....great. I kept the package between the dog and I, being that is all I had in my hands. The husband yells "he won't hurt you". My reply. "He just took a chunk out of your package". It was an oversized padded envelope. I personally find it hard to remain calm when around a dog that I'am unfamiliar with or don't trust. And I know they key up on this. My wife and I can go for walks and a loose dog will key up on me and she will tell me to knock it off. It is just something that I can't control. Some are very good at controlling it. Something else some of you may not know or be aware of is every time you go to a house and leave, your building up that dogs confidence. In his mind he is winning and your leaving. This is why when a puppy is being trained for protection work they give him the sleeve. Makes him feel like he is winning and builds up his confidence.
