I know I'm preaching to the choir but need to rant. Soooo sick of all the DA people around here who think they're above the law. And to the "lady" ( term used loosely) running with her tan mutt. You don't know your ( or any for that matter) dog that well. He gave 3 signs he was about to attack. You ARE NOT above the law no matter who you think you are. Some people just don't deserve to own dogs or have children( but that's a different rant for a different day)!

If their dog does something and they have to pay, then they'll learn. 4951

I've yelled at people on the greenbelt when I am walking my dog for that. My dog isn't dog friendly and I can control him really well but I tell them that I can't control their dog when they won't leave mine alone and that if my dog defends then it's their fault not mine. 4951

This town is chock full of people who do this. No matter what you say, they think they're beloved " Buster" won't bite, attack or misbehave. Or, be a normal dog doing things dogs do. They chase, they bite, and they are DOGS. 4951

**** me off when I when to East End Park and this young lady had her large dog off a leash and he comes running happily to me and my pit (who was on a leash mind you). Then she starts to jog over to us saying that he's friendly, blah, blah, blah. And I told yea but I don't know your dog and you don't know what my dog will do to yours and I left giving her a stern look. 4951

I am not shy. I will tell them there is a leash law. Of course, the first comeback is normally, "well my dog does not bite",  to which I reply, the leash law does not care. All dogs have to be on a leash. then I pull my phone out say. Let me call HPD to come explain it to you... 9 times out of 10 they pull a leash out of their pocket.. 4951

@dac1842: yeah I told her twice to leash the dog and the law. She didn't care. If I hadn't had the dog who can't run- I would've followed her. She even had a leash in hand. Next time I'm going to take a pic and post the offender.
It ticks me off- whether I'm running, riding or walking the dog. Cyclists out in Huffman/Crosby got tired of being chased and at times bitten- they started calling the police and owners were ticketed.

My two and I were nearly attacked by an off-leash dog running way ahead of its master.  He got to us after the snarling and lunging had started, with me putting my dogs behind me and trying to block the scuffle.  The guy's response:  "Oh, I'm sorry,  I didn't see you."Really?  REALLY??!! 4951

Oops. I was guilty of letting my dogs off leash when I lived in KW. I'd walk them on leash until I got to the Elm Grove Elem field, and if no one was there, I'd let them run. Both are JR mixes and need lots of exercise. Occasionally, someone would walk up the greenbelt and they would run up to them...and I'd call them back. Sorry if I scared anyone. I know all dogs will bite but mine are much less aggressive off leash than on. I'm glad now that I don't have to worry about this anymore. 4951

@Love2Run: please enlist a good trainer. Huge red flag if a dog is MORE aggressive on leash than off. If indicates a power struggle and JRTs are known to be "bossy" -it also indicates that they are in charge not you. If you can't be in control when they are on leash( the leash is an extension of you) then there is no way you are in control when they are off leash.
Please understand that I am not singling you out- but what you wrote is the mind set of many dog owners. They just really don't understand dogs. It's not a question of aggression it's a question of safety for the dog, the owner and anybody or anything the dog encounters. It's also good manners. I'm sure as a runner you must've encountered a dog off leash that wasn't well mannered- it's a pain. Of all the dogs I have seen unleashed( probably 100 over the last 2 years alone) I have seen 1 that was trained- and her dog was at heel and as soon as she saw us she sat ( visual cue)the dog at heel and leashed him. That dog never moved a muscle and it maintained eye contact with its owner. 1 out of 100. There are dog parks for off lead. I train mine off lead in my yard. I have dropped the lead and stood on it while practicing training on the greenbelts but even with the training I would never let my dog run loose.

@Love2Run:
Maybe yours are ok. But what happens when one comes up that is not? Even if the others are on leash if agitated enough the leash can be yanked out of the other person's hand. 4951
