afwjam,
Just what am I supposed to do about these supposed adults who bring their dog to an area where many people walk their dogs (mostly on leash or very close to them) and refuse to leash their dog, or even pay attention to what it is doing? I consistently ask them to please call off their dog and explain that neither I or my dogs know that their dog is "a good dog" when it is stalking us. The dog is not really the problem, but while I am in charge of training my students in how to be reasonable conscious people who don't abuse the rights of others, I am not a self appointed teacher of the world, much less adults who are older than me.
With personal freedom comes responsibility, these folks abuse the first by not taking the second.
