Had a place with a couple of Dobermans. I was closing a fence to an area I thought the dog was in, but it had come all the way around the other side of the house and bit me in the azz. Another time I had to pass through the pen to get to another area of the lawn, the dogs were not out, I got about 3/4 of the way through and one comes charging through the dog door from inside. I get to the other side, not enough time to close the gate so I put the trimmer head between me and it; it chomps down like a croc. Must have broken a few teeth on the metal, and it would not let go, just keep biting, what an idiot dog.

Not sure if the owners did not have the time to train it or it had a mental problem, but my worst dog problems always come from the biggest houses, massive multi-million.

When I was first starting off a buddy of mine from college was helping me mow this account one day. The homeowner had a labradoodle that loved to run outside and get in our way. So as I'm mowing the front yard on my z i make a turn when I see my buddy Matt on the Walk behind kicking the dog off with one foot on the sulky as the dog tried to hump him the entire time. It was possibly one of the funniest things I've ever seen. This continued the entire backyard as this dog just chased after him and tried to keep humping him. I just sat on the mower and cried laughing as he had no idea I was watching him. Good times.

That reminds me of a dog we had when I was young. We had this mutt that was not all there. It hated me but it also like to go hump strangers that came to the farm. So if my dad did not like the salesman that came to the farm he would watch from his office the dog going after the salesman leg getting out of the car or he would come out and talk to the guy while the salesman was fighting to get the dog off his leg lol

I use to deliver pizzas in high school and once or twice a weekend I would deliver to this house. The husband always met me at the door to pay and they always had a their ankle biters chained up by the front door. The dogs tried to attack evry time and even earned there name a few times. But i wore cowboy boots so it never hurt and he would tell me to kick them every time and toss me a $5 tip. I can deal with the little ones I can punt, until his wife met me on the porch one time. Dogs charged, I kicked. No tip, and they quit calling for delivery. they picked up there pizza for the next 3 months until they moved.

The image attached is a bit fuzzy, but anyhow... This was taken today as the dumb pitbull was making its way over the fence again. I guess it felt that it was due for another buzz cut from the old FS90R. Fortunately, I saw him before he was actually out of the yard. Had to take a picture real quick as evidence because the owners apparently "can't figure out" how their dog is getting out of the yard.
