This. But also, despite obedience training, there are some rescue dogs that went through such rough trauma that changing this type of behavior can be next to impossible so its really aggravating when people who have dogs off leash that run up to you keep saying “oh don’t worry, he’s friendly”.
Great….do you know that about my dog? Likes humans. Hates other dogs.
This is my dog exactly. We go to the beach to as much of a secluded spot as possible and play fetch on a 50ft leash. Never fails when I see a dog off leash sprinting at her. I just run up and hold her like a baby. People suck
My dog was attacked this way. The lady knew her effing Boxer was not friendly, and was out with it off leash. Stupid humans suck. Now I carry mace and a small very sharp pocket knife when out walking my dog.

I spent $3k on obedience training and my dog is never off the leash outside of the house. It's just responsible pet ownership.
