[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is an area I just discovered along the water where dog owners congregate every day in the evening and split up informally by size and let their dogs play and run. My dog met 4 dogs yesterday, and matched up with a really sweet GSD roughly her size and they played so well together. For the record, off leash and yes ‘not legal’ most likely. It was magical. My dog was so happy.

I’m worried it’s going to be spoiled by the poster upstream who insists on leashes etc and claims that these dogs are running around knocking children over etc. [/quote]
there are areas where dogs can be off leashes, people afraid of dogs can avoid them.  But come on, let's not kid ourselves, a golden retriever skipping through a meadow isn't the same thing as a bunch of pitbulls playing on a sidewalk or a pedestrian promenade. A lot of people adopt them out of pity because they get killed in shelters at much higher rate than other breeds, but they require experiencd owners, and FFS keep them in designated off leash spaces and put muzzles on them in public places and especially enclosed spaces like elevators and subways.  You have a choice as an owner, people who have to use elevators and subways do not! If they are scared they can't run away, not that simple, and they are afraid the wrong move can the set the dog off and their stupid owner may not be able to control them. Use your brain.
