We have a very strict leash law here and I will report people who constantly violate it. If the dog is a nuisance, not dangerous, I will usually speak to the owner first. I try to be polite and approach it like I am concerned the dog is going to get stolen, hit by a car, etc. |
Thank you for the suggestion. I will look to see if I can find Muzzle. I thought of mace but worried it may harm the eyes. If this is made for dogs specifically I would feel much better! I am going to unfortunately change our walking route which cuts off a big chunk of our walk and will probably just end up going around twice. My daughter seemed to think these people may not be the most reasonable of folks. I am also glad to hear someone else has called on a dog. I love animals and hate for anything bad to happen to a dog because of an owners irresponsibility! And was kind of feeling guilty that I was thinking of calling.
