Dog owners please enter . Am I wrong about what happened today??

86. I had a dog that actually trained herself,

I could walk her off leash because she would just walk next to me and ignored other dogs, but I didn't because there was a leash law, so I would walk her on the street to the park, and then, even though there were laws there, if no one else was in the park, I would let her chase the geese, when I saw someone else I would call her and she would stop everything and come immediately where I would leash her. kept the geese out of the park, but the police were not amused.
Unless that trail was marked off leash dogs, I would probably only have the one trained dog off leash and call her to me when anyone else came in view. If you don't have total control of your dogs, they should be on a leash in public.
again, I did not train this dog, that was just how it worked. Wish my newer dogs would train themselves. They can't even be off leash in my backyard since their goal is to run into neighbor's property.
