Polo and I walk about 45 minutes around the neighborhood everyday. On Tuesday we went for our normal walk and about half way through the walk, I’m looking around and I see a golden retriever in his back yard and I am thinking he is on a electric fence. I keep walking we get to his house. He comes barking and charging at us on the sidewalk out of his yard. I am quick enough to pick up Polo and walk to the other side of the sidewalk. Now we are on the other side of the sidewalk and then a little girl calls the dog and he comes running to his backyard.
So the next day Wednesday we are on the same walk and we are walking up towards the entrance of the neighborhood. I see two dogs a cocker spaniel and a Pomeranian we are on the opposite side of were the dogs are.
So I keep walking forward then the Pomeranian comes running and barking
At us luckily I had my pennies in a can I shook it really hard. He ran like lighting so I contuine to walk and then he runs back. I shook the can agian and he runs and doesn't come back then a little later the guy calls his dogs in.

I am really sick of people letting their dogs outside of leash. If there dogs are not capable to stay in their own yard.
Why I am just trying to take my dog for a peaceful walk. People need to put their dogs on an electric fence or have them on a leash.
