would you get offended if a person tied there dog up in the park for being naughty ?
a dog jumped up at me and my dog went mad...so i tied him up for 5mins just to let him no that he cannot attack for no reason!
he was really upset and barking,but more of a high pitched bark,but i took no notice untill he stopped and then walked to him made him sit then gave him a treat and let him play again..
he did not attack again !
but i noticed that some other dog owners did not like what i was doing..
1 dog owner said that her dog goes for other dogs when other dogs jump up at her,she said her dog does not like it..so i said well i think that if you let them get away with it once then they will keep doing it!
do you think shes right to let her dog do that ?

What you did was wrong. You wouldn't tie up a 5 year old child for acting out would you? Well, since dogs have the measurable IQ of a 5 year old - that's just what you did.
Instead of behaving in this not-so-nice manner - how about enrolling you and your dog in a really good obedience class (ask your vet, local shelter etc. for names and information). A basic "good citizen" class is about 8 weeks or so.
If you can't spend 8 weeks training your dog to be mannerly - then you really don't need a dog.
Obedience is a fun sport - Next to spay/neuter - it's the best thing you can do with/for your dog. Remember, a well-trained dog - like a mannerly child - is a joy to be around.

I don't think your dog was being naughty. Another dog jumped on you and he reacted to that. The owner of that other dog needs to teach it not to jump up on people. After getting the other dog off of me, I'd work on some obedience commands for a couple minutes with my dog (sit, heel, whatever) to get his mind off of that other dog before letting him go.

Hey, quick thinking! I wish i had thought of that a couple of hours ago whilst walking my bullmastiff pup. He started jumping up at me and wanting to play, and then started running for other dogs, i grabbed him by the scruff and made him sit until he calmed down. Took me about 10 minutes as all he did when i let go was go at it again, mouthing my arms the lot (little horror). People were giving me horrified looks as i grabbed him by the scruff, put him in a sit, starred in his eyes and said NO! (in my best mum voice). It worked eventually (think he got tired before me) but i'll give your method a go next time!

She's not right to let her dog get away with that behavior. We had that problem with one of our dogs at the dog park. Instead of tying your dog up and ignoring them, try putting the leash on him and escorting him away from the other dogs. Set a time limit and make him sit next to you. He'll understand that he's been bad because the leash came out in a place where he's normally allowed to run. It works for our dogs!

What do you mean he's going to get himself killed? You're well aware of the danger he's in, he is not. If he ends up killed or injured, it's because you knew the risks and decided you were going to take your chances with his life. Until you put up any kind of fence (and whether an electric fence will contain a terrier remains to be seen) he needs to be supervised when outside

I don't think it's the right way to handle the situation and I'm not convinced your problem is permanently solved. Tying up dogs can make them fearful and aggressive and I seriously doubt the dog made the connection between his behavior and your actions.
The correct way is to train your dog to follow your command unquestioningly. And that is through obedience training using positive reinforcement. And even the best trained dogs blow it sometimes. But punishment doesn't work - more training and reinforcement does.

We tend to think of dog training as a series of steps for teaching particular behaviors. To teach a dog to stay in a particular position, you reward her as she remains in place for gradually longer times, at gradually greater distances, with gradually increasing degrees of distraction.

Now, this is fine, training does involve teaching dogs specific behaviors with a step-by-step approach. This week, though, I’m going to discuss three mental habits that will not only enable you train more effectively but also make life pleasant for both you and your dog.

Learning how to train your dog will improve your life and hers, enhance the bond between you, and ensure her safety and it can be a lot of fun. Dogs are usually eager to learn, and the key to success is good communication. Your dog needs to understand how you’d like her to behave and why it’s in her best interest to comply with your wishes.
