[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't let my dog go up to people.  I keep him on a leash and try to go to the other side of the sidewalk/street.

Sometimes people (usually kids) come very close, and it's impossible for me to stop him from sniffing them.  I apologize, but often, it really isn't my fault.  I moved out of the way with my dog, but the other person failed to keep their kid away.

And by the way, for the record, I've had kids in restaurants grab my pure, kids in grocery stores touch things in my cart while we're in line, etc.  Not once has a parent offered an apology.  And usually they look at me as if I should think their kid is adorable.

I've had enough of these "I hate dogs and people who have them threads."

Grow a spine.  If someone allows their dog to come up to you and you don't like it, say something.  "Excuse me, I don't like strange dogs approaching me."[/quote]
This. I have 2 dogs and get out of the way when people walk by. But many people approach them - which is fine but they will get licked.
I have rarely had a dog randomly jump on me and lick me and sniff me. Most people I see walking their dogs have them under control. But yes bad dog owners exist as well as bad parents that let their kids touch everything.[/quote]
