I would suggest you try to work it out with this owner to pay half the vet bills. Get everything in writing, and make sure you get a copy of the vet bills.

If you can't work it out with the owner, get a lawyer.

Did you sign anything at the training school?

[quotealso i do believe that the dog that is off the leash is totally responsible by law (at least in california) so even though your dog was leashed, because he was able to slip out and was off leash at the time you would be at fault. ][/quote]

This is where it gets tricky because the owner was instructed to put the leash on a certain way, by the instructor who works in the store.

I agree with the first part. By the time you pay a lawyer, you'd both be in the hole. However, I wouldn't post a bad review regarding the store. It's not the store's fault the dog's got into a fight. Just split the bill with the other owner and be done with it.

IF the other owner agrees. If not, there's going to be problems.
