>they may boot the dog or start an aggressive conversation with me,
>Why would they boot the dogs (or use a repellent spray?) if the dogs are genuinely friends with the other dog? Has this woman started an aggressive conversation?

I excuse your ignorance of this woman since you have never met her. I could list examples where she has been aggressive, she has attacked someone else on the park with a lead when her aggressive cocker attacked a chocolate lab, the owner was pulling her dog off when she started smacking her over the head with a lead, hence I don't trust this woman and really don't want anything to do with her. Her two cockers have escaped, attacked another dog outside of her home and she's been violent towards the victims owner etc etc

>I would want to just walk around, enjoy the walk with my dog and let them get on with whatever they were doing.

>Which sounds exactly what this woman is doing; letting the dogs get on with what they're doing. 

And at the exact same time denying me doing this

How can you enjoy a walk with your dogs when they are walking around the field with another person whilst you just stand on the opposite side there? That sounds fun fun fun to me.

It doesn't matter if they are okay with one another. If someone askes you to recall your dog you should do it out of courtesy.

>I would also be annoyed if I constantly had two dogs running up to my dog while I was training,

Ah, but you're forgetting that these aren't two random dogs - they're dogs that the OP used to train and allow to play with her dog - but since the argument with her mother (not her!) this is no longer permitted, and she asked about aversives and repellents to prevent this. In other words she's punishing the dogs because she has a problem with the owner - a bit like slapping a child because you don't like it's mum.

The owner however is unwilling to resolve the situation by refusing to recall her dogs. I have never allowed my dog to run up to her, to initate play, to disrupt their walk, its very simple if she keeps her dogs near her and I keep my dog near me we can both walk around the park at the same time with no hostility, excerising our dogs at the same time, completely ignoring each other which is what I want. Then there's no problem at all. 
Obviously she needs to know that I don't want the dogs near us so she should RECALL them (which is what she should have done in the first place) plus by the way this is about the 5th time I have told her to do so. If they don't after a fair bit of warning making a nuisence then I'm going to repell them otherwise its always going to be the same every time they come on the park. I'm not taking her BS. Its her fault their running up to me, her fault for not recalling them, her fault if there repelled. End Of.

>a bit like slapping a child because you don't like it's mum.

Not really, since I'm not physically punishing the dog just going to make a noise to get rid of them, just like training discs

Walk away and avoid the problem. You are not going to stop the problem are you so that is your only choice

I would love to be a fly on the wall in this park, this woman must be hysterical, laughing at you every day, because, everyday she gets one on you. You're like a child trying to gather friends human and doggy in the park. I bet when you meet other walkers, that's all you talk about, but when you walk away from them they probably talk about you. But as it happens she does not annoy them does she. Of course she can hear you when you ask her to recall her dogs, I would also get great pleasure out of ignoring you as well, it must be so funny to see you jumping up and down with rage. Her dogs must love your dog, its not you they come to. You proclaim to have this great dog knowledge, yet you don't understand why her dogs run over in your direction.  Why would she, as you put it BOOT YOUR DOG, its you that is showing aggression towards her dogs asking for something to scare them off. If I was training my dog and some other dog disturb me I would not like it either, but this has not really got anything to do with it, as you said in an earlier post that other people let their dogs run up to yours and you don't mind even when you are training.  GROW UP AND ENJOY YOUR DOG.

I agree, walk away. Even if its for a period of time. I wouldnt want to be in the same area where dogs constantly run up to me. I have had Murphy been attacked by a couple smaller dogs, and if I see them I will go another route. For my dogs sake. But these are bad meetings, where in your case they want to play. Obviously this woman isnt going to comply, I would save myself the stress and walk somewhere else. Not change the time, but go somewhere else. You have mentioned that she hit the dog on the head with the lead? I would avoid her all together. Its up to you to remove yourself from the grief.

To me the answer is a simple one. Either walk your dog at a different time or place. Or just let your dog play with the two cockers if thats what they want to do. If they follow you so what, they'll soon get fed up. Unless they are distressing your dog then i really dont see a problem. You seem to contradict yourself in saying you dont mind when other dogs disrupt your training, however two dogs that your dog knows and likes is not acceptable because you have a problem with the owner.

You could always take two spare leads with you and return the dogs the lady in question. . . . just an idea.

>this woman must be hysterical, laughing at you every day, because, everyday she gets one on you.

I don't meet her everyday plus I don't jump up and down with rage screaming at her.

>You're like a child trying to gather friends human and doggy in the park. I bet when you meet other walkers, that's all you talk about, but when you walk away from them they probably talk about you.

If, which I sincerly doubt they talk about me, its neither here nor there, as I don't give a S***, As for gathering friends human and doggy, I'm not there to gather friends I'm their to train and excerise my dog. 

>Her dogs must love your dog, its not you they come to. You proclaim to have this great dog knowledge, yet you don't understand why her dogs run over in your direction.

I know exactly why. Plus I'm not aggressive towards the dogs, i don't shout at them, tell them to go away, I request to the owner to recall her dogs which she refuses to do. BTW people don't let their dogs run up to mine, they are often young dogs with poor recalls so no I don't mind when people are recalling their dogs but their not coming away. We've all been there with a young dog. With other people who want to socialise with mine they always ask first. I have also said on occassion to such people ' Do you mind, I'm training for such and such, can we play some other time?' and the owners take the dogs away. Common Courtsey. 

golly gosh ! after reading all this i must say what id do if it were me, and as you say you do know these dogs have walked and trained these cockers before this upset, then you realy wouldnt want to harm or frighten the dogs as they dont seem like bad dogs just the owner being narky about you telling her to call them back and its probley cause of the bust up shes being like this, then i'd leave it and say nothing to her but when her dogs came up to me i'd great them and let them run along following me and my dog im sure when you got far enough away with this womens dogs hot on your heals she would soon start to worry just how far they will go you say its a fenced in area your going to then id walk to the gate like i was leaving see if she calls them back knowing your about to open the gate she may worry her dog will escape and call them back ,
for this women to be ignoring you she must be as pee'd off with you as you sound like you are with her , then id make her dogs good friends with me and mine in sure that would get her goat and she'd maybe start wanting to keep her dogs out of your way

alls fair in love and war!

if it were me i would take 2 spare leads., when the dogs came over attach it to them and proceed to walk off with them- im sure that would get her atention- im sure she will recall them sooner if she thinks your likely to do that(just obviously dont actually take them lol)
