50ft? for a dog to reach front areas of a home in some neighborhoods. Do dog owners not understand that the space in front of houses is not an area their dog should be off leash?
Reading comprehension isn't your strength, eh? PP clearly said "out into wide open areas". Their dog isn't on your precious lawn.![]()

And how would you deal with someone who is acting like a "jackass"? They are not leashing, they let dog wander onto people's yards and make no attempts to get damn dog(s) to get off yard. "jackass" is an older white man.
DP. Do you live in an HOA like the PP? If so I'd report him to the HOA and have them harass him, assuming he's violating HOA rules. If he's not violating HOA rules, I'd work to get rules about dogs into the HOA.
I would also tell him in my politest, most empathetic voice, that I have almost accidentally hit his dog with my car multiple times and I would be so incredibly distraught if I hurt a dog. But I realistically cannot drive around like an off leash dog might dash out in front of my care at any moment. See if this sinks in with him.
Not PP, but posted up thread. No, no HOA or neighborhood association. Concerned neighbors have posted on neighborhood listservs but the perpetrators may not be on those listservs so they don't know Larlo plans to pepper spray their unleashed four legged. It is the LAW to leash and if they are allowing dogs to wander on others' properties, they are trespassing. The entitlement of some people is astonishing.
100% correct.
If you can leash the off-leash dog, do so and either take it to the shelter or call animal control to pickup. If you call animal control to report the stray, they will make a note that Mr. Jerk had to come claim his dog on (blankdate). If it keeps happening, they'll have no trouble citing him and collecting fines.
It's so shite that we have to do that for crappy owners though. Why even get a dog if you're not going to care for it responsibly? SMDH

So you pepper spray even if they are friendly and maybe accidently got loose?
If they get near me, yes, i will pepper spray them. i have a reasonable suspicion that they are not friendly. you're lucky i dont stab them.
Well, you are lucky someone doesn't shoot you back. I would if my dog accidently got out and you stabbed him.
Bye!
