[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just wondering. I don't think the leash will help though. [b]I find my dog on a leash scares the crap out of people[/b] even if we are a football field away.

Some people are just afraid of dogs and a leash really does not help with that.

Have you ever heard the phrase you can only control your own reaction to a situation, you can't control others. You may want to work on your own fears, you won't change others. [/quote]

Except hopefully by having your dog on a leash I know there's at least a chance that your dog can't get to me since you'll hold him back.  Even a dog that the owner swears is under voice control can ignore their owner whenever they feel like it and take off if not leashed.  [/quote]

Still does not stop you from being scared. You get the initial gut reaction of "Crap!" when the dog barks and pulls on the leash. The thing is[b] off the leash trained dogs (which use to be legal)[/b] are often trained to just sit when they see people, on the leash dogs are never really trained and do that crazy barking pulling thing.

You may want to just learn to be less scared of dogs.[/quote]

I'm not scared of dogs - I own one.  I am scared of unleashed dogs that I don't know.  Your off-leash dog may be wonderfully trained, but it only takes once for him to ignore your commands.  [/quote]

Having a dog run off the leash has never been legal in DC or the suburbs in any dog's lifetime. Keep your damn dog on its leash.[/quote]
