[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

NP. No, you shorten the damn leash![/quote]

The dog is on leash. That’s all that’s necessary. [/quote]

And I'm sure you wonder why we bash horrible dog owners like you. [/quote]

My dog is on leash, walking quietly next to me. Your child is the one turning red, flipping out, screaming. Who’s misbehaving again?[/quote]

Not only are you a horrible person for thinking your dog is more important than a child, you're also making shit up. Nowhere did PP say "turning red, flipping out, screaming," but how would you make your nonexistent point without making shit up.

You are the assh0le, how and forever, and are not mentaly stable enough to have a dog.[/quote]

My dog is just existing in space, as is his right. If your child isn’t that upset, why on earth are you making demands of strangers? [/quote]

But your dog is not just existing in space. He's on a public sidewalk, and he has to share that sidewalk. Including giving a reasonable amount of space to any person (not just a kid, but especially kids) who might not want to interact with him. That's what the leash is for, and that's why leash laws exist.

You are more than welcome to take your dog places where he doesn't have to share the space. Get a house with a big yard, take him to the dog park, go live somewhere where there is little foot traffic on the roads. But if you are in a populated area with leash laws, you are obligated to keep the leash short enough that someone could walk by without having to worry about your dog getting close to them.[/quote]
