i think the reason that the off leash dogs posts are so frequent is that it is almost impossible to go about your business avoiding off leash dogs when you are legally walking your leashed pet.
They don’t go their way and let you go yours.. they make a beeline for your leashed pet.
even if your pet is dog friendly and well behaved and the off leashed dogs are friendly and well behaved.. getting them to go away so you can get on with your business is an impossible task.
just keeping control of the leash with a dog that is pivoting as unleashed dogs circle is a major task… keeping the leash from entangling your legs … almost impossible… and to do all that while keeping moving and hoping for the best.. stressful to say the least.
double the dogs you are walking… add one that is more than willing to let the off leash dogs know they are being rude … then add unsteady feet and you have the potential for disaster every time you legally walk your dog… even if the off leash dogs are friendly.
i have the skinned knees, bruises and scars from bites to prove it.
