[quote=Anonymous]Ugh, this is a perfect recipe for that kid to end up bit.  Even dog savvy adults often don't know how to break up a dog fight and a kid is likely to just reach in and try and pull the dog away, pretty much guaranteeing they get bit in the process.  However, if he's already complaining when you avoid his dog, he isn't going to listen to anything you say.  Just avoid avoid avoid.

My own dog is somewhat leash reactive but his reactivity is he just barks and barks and barks.  If he actually gets close to the dog, he just greets like normal and does his play bow.  However, I don't want him barking on his walks so I always avoid other dogs on leash unless it's a dog my dog knows well (since he doesn't bark then).  I would be hella pissed if someone yelled at me for avoiding them while walking their dog.  Not everyone's dog wants to play and not everyone wants to do the 5 minute stand around and watch them sniff each others butts routine on every single walk, even if their dog DOES want to play/greet.
