Why do you let your dog approach and/or sniff/slobber on me?

Maybe just hold the leash closer to your body so the dog doesn't slobber on my baby's face.

Do you bring your baby out in public when your baby has a head cold? Lots of people do. Bet that kid is doing more damage than the dog slobber. Just sayin'

I don't like when people bring their sick kids (or selves) in public, either. But dogs are not people. You don't get to decide what constitutes "damage" to a person. Your dog, your responsibility, period. Your dog is no one else's burden.

And...neither do you get to decide. We live in areas that allow dogs. Some even encourage them. If you don't like being around dogs, you should move.

What the hell? What kind of entitled spoiled brat are you, that you think you having a dog, should burden others? Your dog, your total and complete responsibility. Period.

You're crazy and anti-social. You need anxiety meds or you need to move. You're not fit to be around people or dogs.

Ah yes, it's anti-social to want to enjoy being outdoors with people, and not your previous muffy? I don't think you have that quite right, dear.

Demanding that the entire world change to meet your individual needs is crazy and anti-social. You need to learn acceptance or you need to lock yourself in your house and never come out.

The problem is you.

Sorry, keeping pets on a leash is not an "individual need." It's the law in most areas around here, as is cleaning up after your pets. If you choose to do otherwise, you are the crazy and anti-social one.

And yet, you think people should love your dogs or move. Holy cognitive dissonance, Batman.

Nope. I don't think you need to love my dog. I think you need to learn to deal with it. People aren't going to change their behavior because you're afraid and anxious. If you don't like dogs, cross the street. Go the other way. Run on a treadmill or an indoor track. Take up yoga.

You're an anxious, paranoid nut.

Nope. I don't not like your dogs. I think you need to deal with people who don't like your dogs, however. People aren't going to change their behavior because you think your pet comes first. If you don't like being responsible, give your dog to someone who wants to be a responsible pet owner. Or go to a designated dog park. Take up a hobby that doesn't impede on others.

When you go to public places, other people are going to be present who you don't like. Deal with it or GTFO. I sincerely don't care if you don't like my dog.

You're missing the point - I don't mind other people. Not at all. It's your animals that other people shouldn't have to put up with, though you should probably take your own words to heart, and avoid public places if you don't care to be minimally considerate to other people.

+1. You need to be medicated when you go out in the world. This is insane.

You are conflating many, many different posters. I personally don't care about retractable leashes if you can keep your dog under control and not have your stupid leash get entangled in everything. I don't care if you bring your dog to a restaurant or business that allows it, and I don't even care if you sneak your dog onto an outdoor patio. I do find it unacceptable for anyone's dog to run around unleashed unless they are at a dog park or other appropriate venue. I think that people are right to feel annoyed when dogs run up to them or their children and sniff or lick them. Of course it happens, even when on leash, but a considerate dog owner will be cognizant of what their animal is doing.

I am neither anxious nor paranoid, but I do know a lot of people who are dog-phobic BECAUSE irresponsible dog owners let their dogs off leash. Remember that little boy with the hero cat? He might well be dog-phobic now, and for someone like you to say that he needs to stay inside forever because you want to let your dog do whatever it wants is the definition of anti-social.

Probably got mud on it from her car door and blamed the dog.

NP here. Whatever, guys. Do you not realize that nobody wants your dog's disgusting slobber on them? What if I slobbered on you and said it was good for your health? Just keep your dog from touching me or my kids. End of story.

I actually prefer to have me and my kids run up to strangers and rub our faces in their crouch and butt cracks. It is a really effective way to show strangers how cute and friendly our family is.

I feel like these are teh same posters just arguing their point on another thread. Weird.
