Easy-peasy to avoid confrontation and broken jaws by simply being aware of the surroundings.

I do let my dog run in the part of the park off the beaten path, I could walk for an hour there and not meet a single person, let alone kids. But when I walk near playgrounds/school/small park in the middle of the neighborhood - dog is leashed obviously. [/quote]

Incorrect.

There is no such thing as an "unofficial dog park". It's just the park, and the park 100% is for kids, and leashed dogs (reactive or otherwise; how do you think they magically stop being reactive without practice?  :roll: ). Sometimes, there may be authorized off-leash hours, and even during those hours, you are expected to keep your dog away from other park users, their dogs, traffic, etc.

Near playgrounds is not the place for dogs. Period. No matter how "friendly", and even if leashed. Some kids are scared of dogs, and the playground is for them, not your dog.

Easy-peasy to avoid problems by being aware of the laws, and exercising some simple common sense that, apparently, isn't so common anymore. [/quote]
