There's a guy in our neighborhood who walks around with what looks like a very well trained but unleashed Doberman. As someone with small kids it is always disconcerting.

the perfect example. the ur-shithead Tucker Carlson talking to his shithead brother Buckley about how he never leashes his "million" dogs because he's a "free man"

we were in denver last summer on vacation and kind of shocked by how dog friendly everything was in the surrounding areas - tons of people with dogs at ever restaurant, etc. but, always leashed. seems like a thing where militant enforcement of leashing actually means you can be *more* dog friendly

Here in British Columbia, the self-entitled anti-leash assholes are effectively showing they do not care at all about the animals they are responsible for caring for, all they care about is convenience and laziness. As a dog owner, allow to say that the majority of dog owners are assholes.

I like dogs, but I was attacked by one once. After that, I totally get why some people are afraid of them and have no patience for people who keep them off leash in public spaces

Right, it’s like — you don’t get mad at a dog, even a badly trained one; you get mad at the person who put you in contact with said dog.

it's also inconsiderate to other people with dogs. "Oh you're incredibly bouncy unleashed dog is 'friendly'? well my leashed dog is reactive and now we've got a SITUATION"

yeah, my dog is not remotely reactive, but anytime someone brings their little kid to the dog park (which they aren't supposed to do) and it looks like they don't know how to behave around strange dogs, I leave. it's not worth the risk.

I was traumatized as a child when some dude let his aggressive Rottweiler off leash. It ran out of the woods to circle and bark at me. Thankfully my dad was right near me to keep me okay. I still bawled my eyes out, the owner was “ehh it’s okay, nothing bad happened” I was traumatized for years.
