[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate this, too. It is unfair to my dog when she is leashed and cannot get away when a strange dog comes charging up at her, friendly or not. You are much more likely to get a defensive/aggressive greeting when one dog is leashed and one is not, than two leashed dogs or two off-leash dogs. People think they are above the law, or that their dog is good enough to be only under voice command. Perhaps their dog is well-behaved, but I can make no guarantees that my dog won't act aggressively when your dog comes charging up to us (my dog is a friendly Golden Retriever, FWIW) unimpeded.[/quote] I'd like to add that I consider dogs at the end of a fully-extended 20' retractable leash are as good as offleashed dogs when you are letting them run up to people and (properly) leashed dogs, all over the sidewalk/trail, and even into the road. I'm pretty sure most places require nothing more than a 6' leash, and I think in DC it's actually 4'.[/quote]
