This video has great advise. I couldn't walk my senior dog on my street because a neighbor had two big dogs he let run off leash. I knew my dog couldn't defend herself if they attacked. Two of my grandchildren are afraid of dogs running up to them. It really upsets me when people can't be considerate of other people. Good article.
We don’t walk our dog’s anymore. I had a big mean neighborhood dog was let out by the owner to roam the neighborhood . I was walking our puppy when the other fog saw us and made a beeline towards us. We tried to run to our house, our pup ran in front of me, I tripped over our pup, I fell and broke my arm. A neighbor came out and assisted us. We got home safely since the other dog was chased away from us.
I've had off leash dogs run up to me at times when I've been by myself and also when I've been walking my dogs. As you said, the owners always seem to yell "it's ok, he's friendly". What's the deal with that. I mean, my dog is not going to appreciate another dog that he doesn't know running up to him if he doesn't know the dog already. It's pretty sad when you want to take your dog for a walk, but can't because of the insensitive people that allow their dogs off leash.

Always good to use a collar and leash. :)
