[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree, OP, but I wish there were a lot more places where dogs are allowed to be off leash.[/quote]

Hint: your fenced yard!  If you can’t afford the land for the animal you can’t afford the animal. [/quote]

Oh yeah I forgot - only rich people can have dogs.  [/quote]

You think people in “flyover country” are all rich?

Living in an urban area has pros and cons. You need to accept the cons.

OP, I’d ask the police to stop by on the days and times that you think it’s a problem and see if they can give tickets.[/quote]

Actually I don’t need to “accept the cons” because I have a yard in DC.  But I like my dog to be in nature and the breed needs to run more and explore more than the size of my yard.  Believe it or not, it’s possibly to have inner city communities and environments where there’s something for everyone including dog lovers and those who don’t want to meet an unleashed dog.  Try opening up your mind to the idea.  It really is no threat to you.[/quote]

No one needs to open their mind to anything. Unleashed dogs in DC and NPS land is illegal. Your “dog who needs to run and explore” should not be living in DC. Grow up. [/quote]

Thanks for the advice but I don’t need to grow up.  You may need to learn some manners, though.

I do not let my dog off leash unless we drive to a dog beach, for example.

My dog is medium sized and quite okay with the way I raise him, thanks.

It is possible to have communities that allow coexistence for everyone’s health, safety, and kindness to animals.  What I was trying to say is that the balance is not yet right in DC as it is in many other cities around the world. Maybe you haven’t lived in any other cities where they manage to do this well.  I will assume ignorance and not just mean spiritedness.[/quote]

You told someone to “open their mind” to unleashed dogs in the city. No one needs to learn manners except you.  [/quote]

No I didn’t.

I told someone to open their mind to have having more designated off leash areas.
