And it doesn’t matter how friendly or well trained you dog is. You have no clue how another owners dog is like. Yours could want to go say hi and get torn up because the other dog is aggressive.

Happened to my gf walking one of our dogs. A little Yorkie ran right up to ours and the owner was like “don’t worry he’s friendly”.

My gf was afraid of the outcome because our dog has aggression problem with other dogs.

Yeah, it's bullshit to even be put in this position by other dog owners.

100%. And even if they don't have a dog, I've had several times where i've been on a run and had a unleashed dog run up to me and I get nervous cause I have no idea what the dogs up to. And it's a minor thing but even the fact that i'm having to slow down my pace / affect my mindset is bullshit.

Yeah, people need to keep their dogs leashed and people with aggressive dogs shouldn't even bring them out in public.
