[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am frequently in Riverside Park and to a lesser extent Central Park where I believe dogs are allowed off leash before 9 am and there are many dog runs. [b]I often see people walking with their dogs off leash in the middle of the day when the park is fairly crowded[/b]. I'm 95% sure the dogs are harmless but as the parent of a child who was very afraid of dogs for years, I do not appreciate this. There is a time and a place. The dog can run around in the dog run or early in the morning. It is not torture for the dog to be on a leash. You might know that your dog is harmless but others don't. And for some, the mere act of an unleashed dog running at them to play is still frightening.

Note that i grew up in the suburbs with a dog that loved to jump on people and wouldn't hurt a soul. So I get the joke.[/quote]

I find this surprising. I rarely see this.

Almost never that I can recall in fact.

If your dd has a phobia, that is something to work on as a parent, no? [/quote]
