Why is that some people always feel that the dog they own is fine to be off a lead.
It's the same old story, first they are sorry it's bothering my dog , then it's... the dog never normally ignores me, then it's.....it only wants to play.
All i want is an uncomplicated stroll along the beach with my dog (who is never off the lead) and each time it is spoilt by people who just seem not to give a monkey's about other people, i really can understand why some people want dog free sites sometimes.

Just me having a rant after a lovely morning walk on the beach spoiled again

Sometimes the owners ought to be put on a leash and only allowed out with a responsible canine! Twisted Evil

I'm sure our Zoe has a lead somewhere Embarassed

I only look for it when near cars zooming in roads. One of the reasons I got a retriever bitch a second time, than go for a dog, is that I do enjoy (as does she I like to think) having a dog free of a lead but under control. I didn't think that would be the case if female pheromones were in the air Smile

What I dont understand is why do people who do not like their dog off the lead, walk were there is dogs off the lead.

I dont like football, therfore I dont go to football grounds. Simple !!

Well we have never fully trusted any of our dogs even though some of them have been a peach to control, i always believe that something could go wrong and it would cause an incident.
Our current dog is a rescue greyhound so we have even more reason to keep her on a lead, i believe that animals, like us can get a red mist (focused on something like a rabbit) sometimes and that is one worry, the other is that some dogs can be intimidated by loose dogs and the owner can get stressed as well as the dog, i do not want to be in that position where i am responsible for that so i always keep them on a lead.
I have let them off in a fenced in field from a farmer friend but then we were the only people there.

Regards malc

I don't have a problem letting my dog off the lead - he comes back when called. I thought that what was you were supposed to do when taking a dog for a walk.

Are you banning me from walking on the beach because someone has their dog off the lead?

As a non dog keeper and a dog crap hater can someone in the dog world please explain how you can let a dog off the lead, and presumably sometimes out of sight, in a public place and still be sure to pick up ALL the excrement they drop.
