Maybe it's just me, but it seems like the o/p isn't willing to do anything to help herself, or the situation.

I agree. I just hope nothing bad happens to her or to the dog.

Just go inside when you see him out walking the dog, then that way the dog can't get to you if the leash should break.

EASY, OBVIOUS solution.
Thank you! I do this most of the time, but he sometimes comes out at night or during the day when I don't see him in time. I appreciate your suggestion!! I'm going to call animal protection in our county.

@fortune

Best of luck to you OP!

Because that's just what some posters like to do......sigh.

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

Oh good grief I feel bad for this dog. He hasn't actually done anything but is being portrayed as a killer.

We raised German Shepherds and Pitbulls they can be strong but are very loving dogs.

@AngusandBuddhasMom If they are raised properly. In the majority of bad dog behavior, the owners are responsible by encouraging it as they want macho dogs.

I know but that can be said for any dog. My Grandfather raised pitbulls and used them to herd his sheep. They were loving dogs but yes they were raised with love and respect.

@AngusandBuddhasMom Yes, I meant to include all dogs.

My son spoke to the pet owner last night (3/10/16). The guy said he didn't know why I was afraid. He said he had a choke collar and double leash on the dog and that he was the only one in the family that walked the dog.

While my son was talking to him, the dog was trying to get to my son. The man was yanking the dog away from my son the whole time they were talking. He's clueless.

At least I know the collar and leash aren't likely to break. I consider this the first step. Next, it will be animal control if he continues to let the dog charge me.

Thanks again for all the excellent advice from you posters!!!!!

Oh, good. I am glad your son talked to him. Hopefully it will do some good. If not, I would ban together with other neighbors and talk to this man as a united group. If this has happened with them too....... and all of you call the police with your concerns the same day (and as many days as you have to.......) they will get tired of it and send someone out. Be safe and best of luck to you!

Can the people objecting to the singling out of pit bulls at least admit that some dogs require more advanced owners than others? Some breeds are inherently aggressive and therefore must be trained and treated properly. I'm no expert, but I'd be willing to bet that such dogs are much more challenging than the average lab. Lazy, irresponsible, and inexperienced owners should not have these breeds as pets. Certainly, careless owners shouldn't have a dog at all, but certain breeds require more from the owner than others.

I like dogs, but I'm so tired of owners letting their dogs run at me and even jump on me repeatedly (these are strangers on the streets and the beaches) while they REFUSE to call them back. These dogs aren't even supposed to be off the leash! I've actually had some refuse to call them back because they don't think the dog will bite. They are utterly without any consideration for anyone but THEMSELVES. These people should not own dogs. And there are a lot of people like this. They are literally ALL OVER THE PLACE where I live.
