[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would just like to thank the dog owners who are trying to do the right thing by not letting their dogs off-leash except in places where this is actually allowed, and for being cognizant that many people (and  animals) do not want to encounter your off-leash dog.

I live near Rock Creek Park and unfortunately it seems like the majority of people who bring their dogs to walk in the trails near our house let their dogs off-leash even though this is not allowed. It means I basically cannot bring my toddlers to those trails b/c I am afraid they will get bitten (and they inevitably step in dog poop from the unleashed dogs and get it all over themselves).

Yes it is really scary. We enjoy hiking as a family but only go when dh can come. There have been too many times he has had to put himself between our child and an aggressive off leash dog. People in this area do not care about the rules. Now dh works weekends so no more family hikes. I just don’t feel comfortable going myself and it is specifically because of unleashed dogs. [/quote]
