[quote=Anonymous]I agree that if your kid is running up to leashed dogs, you should not be giving the dog owner a hard time. Kids need to be taught how to safely and politely interact with animals. I also agree that freaking out when there is no immediate threat (the dog is on the other side of the park, say) is not a good way to handle it. I'm not scared of dogs, and I don't want my kid to be scared of dogs, I just want the dog leashed like it's supposed to be. (If you dog rushes my kid, though, watch out!) But dog owners need to leash their dogs--you may know that your dog is gentle and non-aggressive, but (1) I don't know that, and (2) even good dogs can nip or bite, especially as kids + dogs = unpredictable. I'll be responsible for my kid's interactions with your leashed dog, and you be responsible for leashing said dog. Everyone wins! [/quote]
