I was at the dog run today, a dog enter the dog run and ran all the way to me. The first thing it did was jump all over me, and before I can get the dog off, I got scratches all over my arm and leg. JJ runs up to people as well but she never would climb all over them. The scratch hurts and I got scratch marks all over my arm as if I got into a fight. I don't mind if the dog runs up to me for a pat pat on the head or tummy rub. But dog owners should teach their dogs not to climb all over people and sit on them. [

Sorry to hear you got all scratched up. Another example of there's no bad dogs, only bad owners--where was the dog's owner and what did he/she say?

I've never liked that phrase "no bad dog... Some dogs just need a little more time and training than others, good owners don't always = good dogs. They will not always start off good when given to a good owner.

However, I do agree that the owner should know better than to allow their dog to jump up on strangers. I would never let my dog approche a stranger unless the person seem interested in petting my dog and even then I don't let them just run up on the person I take the dog there and hold her by the collar so she doesn't jump.
