again that's in a public place, different story altogether in an rv park.

I feel the same.

Went on a hike once with a friend and his girlfriend. They let their dogs off the leash and they would always run ahead of us. More than more occasion of us cresting a hill only to see another hiker standing with their hands near their chest in that sort of "I don't like this but I'll try to be calm" sort of way. Friends GF was just like "ohhh they're friendly don't worry". Bitch that ain't up to you. How many people are you going to freak out before you realize courtesy exists. I didn't know her well so I had to bite my tongue but I never took them up on a hike invitation since then.

I’ve done that about 5 times: I’ve gotten angry reactions, frightened reactions, visits and calls later but whatever it is my response is keep your dog on a leash and it won’t be a problem

if the dog isn’t around an owner I call animal control

If I’m not walking my dog I try to get the dog back to its owner

I love dogs but I don’t **** with my dog getting hurt

We’re ride and die

Rather unneighborly tbh.

I understand the above, but if a random dog comes up to me off leash, I'd just feel it out and be cautious. Unless youre in a bad neighborhood I think it's generally safe to assume the dog is going to be friendly. Otherwise you'd have some crazy white person running towards you yelling their dog is mean and stay away.

If you’re alone it’s no big deal. If you’re walking a dog it is a big deal unless you’re cool with your dog getting in a fight. I’m not. I’ll handle that.

I might be the only who disagrees with the above but I've only had a dog through my younger brother so I'm biased. However saying you're gonna kill their dog is unnecessary imo....Unless you're Hawk I guess.

i've had similar experiences hiking, i had to straight up kick a dog in the face to get it off my dog, owner was nowhere to be seen until they caught up a couple minutes later down the trail. i was livid and mulder was traumatized. people are idiots.

It’s had a 100% success rate and shouldn’t people given a warning? I’m not making an idle threat. Sometimes I carry my 38. I’m not being hyperbolic. I’m trying to make sure it doesn’t get to that point.

Like I said before: My dog isn’t getting hurt.
