Who defines reasonable.

Well that would be the court.

Get advice from the RSPCA?
Is that particular owner and dog regularly in the same place? Maybe RSPCA would be willing to "stake the situation out", though probably not -see what they suggest.
The advice about looking big - raising arms and making a loud booming low noise is very effective - however it's the owner that's the main problem. Hope you find a solution; to your problem mainly, but it's a shame that the other dog is out of control - not it's fault.

he police aren't interested in dog on dog attacks, you have to wait until a person is attacked. OP you could try contacting your council dog warden but I wouldn't hold out too much hope of a resolution from them.

Read the Dangerous Dogs Act. If a person has a reasonable apprehension of being attacked then it is an offence.

Please tell the police this. They will only act if a person IS attacked and they are not interested in dog on dogs which is the OP's reason for the thread.

Just thinking on a bit here, but isn't there some sort of offence in failing to keep a dog under control in a public place (or similar)? The latest event was in a town centre.

I have always said that if another dog attacked mine (if mine was on his lead & unprovoked) I would do anything to stop this. If it mean't hurting the other dog to get it to stop, I wouldn't hesitate followed by giving the owner some hospital time.
