[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they are inside, windows closed, I just feel bad for the owner and neighbors. If they are outside or the open window is right on the street and it gives me an adrenaline rush and makes my kids scream, then yeah you're a jerk who can't control their dog and probably shouldn't have one.[/quote]

This same discussion comes up about once every month or two by the same poster.

Dogs gonna dog.  If you don't like it, walk a different route, like I do!  Once thing I would never do is tease the dog, because then you can be liable. If the home/dog owners have cameras, the teasing will be shown as evidence.

I live in a densely populated suburban neighborhood where 2/3 of households have a dog. It’s a great neighborhood for walking, but impossible to avoid barking dogs. They’re everywhere. Most of the time it doesn’t bother me, but I often wonder how on earth their owners can tolerate the constant racket over so many things that aren’t a threat and aren’t even on their property. It would drive me insane. Dogs walk past my house all day long. I’m glad my dog doesn’t care. I don’t need a guard dog.[/quote]
