Then there are the people who go to places where people frequently walk their dogs and REMOVE THE LEASH as soon as they get there, because "Our dog is friendly."
When dogs are on leash, and some strange dog comes rushing up to them, and their person, they will feel threatened and they will feel like they have to protect their person. It is unfair to unleash your dog off of your own property, especially if you are oblivious to where it is and what it is doing while you take your walk. There is a couple who constantly do this at the end of Maku'u, and their dog is never closer than 50 feet to them. When I ask them to please call their dog, they always give me a song and dance about how their dog is sooo friendly, but it routinely advances on me and my dogs with no friendly waggy tail, but with a lowered head, and a stalking prey stance.
