As a dog walker, I always make my dogs come into the side and wait until joggers or cyclists pass. My personal experiences are that many dog owners are very selfish and irresponsible.
I had a row with one such person a few weeks back, I had 4 dogs, all on lead and right in front of their noses this stupid woman with a ball thrower, threw the ball and all 4 of my dogs kicked off big time. Why couldnt she have waited 10 seconds for me to pass by before throwing the ball?
I had to stop, calm all 4 dogs before moving off again. I told her that she had created that. She told me that it wasnt her fault my dogs werent well trained. I said that that was why they were all on lead and if they hadnt been then there would have been a fight over the ball and that a little common sense and curtiousy goes a long way. She told me that she had ALOT of common sense when it came to dogs and I laughed, shook my head and said I dont think so dear.
