[quote=Anonymous]I have a large, but extremely docile, chill dog. I keep him on a short leash when we’re approaching others as a courtesy, in case other pedestrians dislike dogs, are afraid of dogs, are allergic to dogs, are in a hurry, are walking a reactive dog, etc. I want joggers and bicyclists to feel confident that I have control over my dog and that he won’t dart in front of them or lunge at them. I wonder sometimes if my choking up on the leash is actually having the opposite effect, though; maybe I’m making people think my dog is aggressive and I’m doing it for their safety? A couple people have turned around and gone the other way or crossed the street when they saw us. My dog absolutely LOVES it when people speak to him and pet him.[/quote]
