[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dog owners who don’t hold the leashes if they see someone approaching.Not everyone loves dogs.

People crossing the parking lot without paying any attention whatsoever to cars.

People not holding the door for their family once they are let in by someone in the front.[/quote]

I have a kid who is terrified of dogs and we've taken to asking dog owners to shorten leashes when they are walking on sidewalks with a long, slack leash. They'll even see my DD is hesitant and say "oh he's very friendly!" but not shorten the leash or do anything to show they have control over the dog.

You should have to pass a test on dog etiquette before you adopt one. [/quote]

If the dog is on leash, they are complying with the law and have the right to be on the sidewalk just like your family. Pick up your daughter if she's that scared, or cross to the other side. [/quote]

They actually are not complying with the law. Here is DC's leash law:

[i]900.3 No person owning, keeping, or having custody of a dog in the District shall permit the dog to be on any public space in the District, other than a dog park established by section 9a of the Animal Control Act of 1979, passed on 2nd reading on September 20, 2005 (Enrolled version of Bill 16-28), unless the dog is firmly secured by a substantial leash. [b]The leash shall be held by a person capable of managing the dog[/b].
900.4 The length of the leash required under § 900.3 [b]shall not exceed four feet[/b] (4 ft.).[/I]

So all those long leashes, retractable leashes, people being walked by their enormous dog they have zero control over? Actually violating the law. Go ahead and pick up your 80lb pit bull mix and cross the street to avoid me and my kid, thanks.
