[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find more and more, people are bringing their dogs to our neighborhood playground and letting them run around unleashed on the playground (on the mulched part, not even right next to it), nearby small children. It makes me feel really uncomfortable and also is against the law. Has anyone had any success calling the non-emergency police number for this? I hesitate to confront people because I find that most people who are that cavalier about letting their dogs run wild also go from 0 to 100 if you politely ask them to have their dog stop doing whatever it is doing.

Understand what you’re saying, but going right to the police is really the wrong thing to do. How about going up to the person and just explaining you'd prefer them to leash their dog because your kids are afraid? Not all dog owners are going to go ballistic on you. Be a responsible adult before you bring in law-enforcement, please. [/quote]

It’s animal control.

Also, if your dog is so out of control that animal control has the legal standing to get intervene, you have no business owning a dog. Also, it’s a terrible idea to try to talk to someone with terrible judgement. Don’t do it. Especially when your children are around.

[b]Jesus. Not everyone is a slavering jerk dog owner with an aggressive dog looking for a fight. [/b]

True, I agree with you.

But I’m not going to risk it when I’m with my kids and the only thing I know about you is that you’re an irresponsible dog owner.

If you’re the clueless dog owner who is otherwise reasonable, chalk it up as a learning experience. And if you’re the jerk with an aggressive dog, then I’m super relieved I didn’t approach you myself!
