[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I walk in a park where dogs are supposed to be leashed, but three different unleashed dogs (from three owners) jumped up on me today.  Why do dog owners think this is ok? [b] Why don’t they just leash the dogs or go to a dog park?[/quote][/b]

You must not have dogs or know what dogs like.  First, not saying that allowing dogs to jump on you is ok...IT IS NOT.

But, dogs have needs that are separate from what humans need or desire.  For example, dog parks are for people who think their dogs need to socialize with groups of largely untrained dogs.  So sometimes the dogs are untrained in how to meet and play with other dogs ( not taking the hints when a dog is trying to tell the other dog they don't want to play) and owners who do not teach their dog recall so that they can call their dog to them all the time.

dogs use their noses for investigation and there is nothing they don't like that to be free and wandering where they want to go based on the smell not where we want to go.  Dogs need to sniff and nothing is sadder when owners drag their dogs along and not let them sniff at all.

There should be a place where dogs can run off leash and owners should teach their dogs to not jump on people.[/quote]
