[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Carry pepper spray.

Spray the dog, or tell the owner that if their dog comes up to you again, you will pepper spray it. Unfortunately, it's not the dog's fault it has a jerk of an owner, but it's the only way bad dog owners will learn.

This.
I am a dog lover and have 2 currently but I understand that not everyone loves dogs. I hate people that let their dogs off leash at inappropriate places and/or let their dogs go up to everyone. My husband is like this and it drives me crazy. [/quote]

Totally agree.  My previous dog was awesome off-leash and loved roaming off the trails in rock creek.  He had no interest in people or in other dogs so I felt confident letting him off leash and was never let down.  My current dog is a sweetheart but she does lunge at people and at dogs when she's on her leash so I would never let her off leash in rock creek or another trail.  We're taking her to obedience classes and agility training in the hopes that she won't be as reactive but until then, no.  All that's to say, OP, people who let their dogs off leash inappropriately really suck.

If by inappropriately you mean ever, then yes.  Dogs must be on leashes, whether your dog is "awesome" at being off-leash or not. [/quote]
