I guess it's a sore topic for dog owner's, and I live in a glass house, so I can't throw any stones. There are plenty of rules I don't follow, ie the speed limit, and some other stuff. But, having been attacked by a dog as an adult on August 28, 1990, it still scares the shit out of me, when some random dog is bounding toward me on the trail. I guess many dog owner's don't understand how I could be afraid(scared shitless) of their wonderful 85lb ball of wiry muscle with big sharp teeth.NO
Not to worry though we ride 99% where there aren't complainers. I know this is a sore subject for the crowded trail users, trails we aren't. Quite frankly a leashed dog is an untrained dog. A very big problem in this country is humans owning dogs who treat dogs like humans, like toddlers to be exact, instead of a dog. So dogs act like nasty 2 yr old toddlers
If your dog is really well trained and will come right over to you, when called, that is not the dog that bother's me. The one that is out there and you don't even see the owner? or the one whose owner tells you, don't worry, he's just being friendly! They need a fucking leash, plain and simple.
And that's all I have to say about that.
