Dog licences should be brought back

Yes, proper registration at a cost to cover the administration of the scheme.

Contact the RSPCA and ask for advice, and also the Police.

Does she have experience in Dog Handling? She really needs advice on how to teach the dog how to behave. \I hope to high heaven that she does not go to a behavourist who will tell her to reward everything and not give any discipline. Dogs needs to understand right and wrong in order that they behave p0roperly and safely.

I have always rewarded my dogs with kinds words and affection but stopped any bad behaviours from the start.

We went on holiday in the North East years ago with our gorgeous little spaniel walking him on his lead. He was brutally attacked by an Italian Mastiff who was being walked by children. It took a few men to release our dog from the other dogs grip. Our dogs life was eventually cut short because of the attack and our holiday was totally ruined.

On another occasion we watched a young boy who was running with a dog too big for him to control. His dog attacked another dog while it was getting into his owners car. People are the problem they get dogs too big for them to handle and leave children in charge of them.
There’s a big campaign where we live for people to be more responsible about dog ownership it should be countrywide.

I’d keep a record of anything that concerns you and contact the safe neighbourhood officer at your local council of anything that you find worrying.

She is not able to give the dog what it needs in the way of exercise and that won’t help its temperament. I would report her to the RSPCA in the hope that at least she gets proper advice and may be encouraged to rehome it.

No advice but perhaps she thinks it will protect her.

Surely it will require a lot of training and exercise and she doesn't sound the best person to cope with that.

I hope she has a 6ft fence all round.

Poor dog, it is not fair that unsuitable people can just buy one without checks.

Oh dear. Scary dog indeed. I've always wondered who and why might a person have to buy such ferocious creatures. Be very careful.

Horrified to hear that a woman across the road has bought one of these. They are Italian Mastiffs and stronger than rottweillers, german shepherds, dobermans etc. Just seeing a photo of them terrifies me. I discovered that a woman and a little boy have been killed by them.

She is only about 5ft and lives alone in a very small house with tiny garden and is just not a reliable person (even her Dad says that). I have been reading up about them and they are fiercely protective, need lots of space and two long walks a day. I know she works long hours so how is that going to work?

I used to cut through past her house but will now have to go the long way round. Too risky if that thing gets out.
