(46,436 posts)We walk our shih tzu off leash on a relatively unpopulated trail - we usually see maybe two or three other people in an hour - and sometimes encounter other dogs off leash with never a problem. Our girl is very well mannered on the trail, stays right by our side, and steps off the trail when we encounter another person. But we did run into the screaming leash law woman one day, who deliberately tried to taunt our dog into getting aggressive with her - which she didn't, hiding behind my husband's legs, wondering what was going on with the crazy lady - and refusing to shut up, walking along beside us literally freaking out. After about 10 minutes she finally got bored and went on her way, but I've never seen anyone get so bent out of shape over nothing at all.
Now, the people who piss me off are the ones who won't pick up the poop, but that's another story.
