Running with Dogs Etiquette?
I want to understand.
First:
So I've always been told that dogs like to approach a strange dog obliquely not head on. So with their bodies at an angle to one another.
Second:
A dog has selective vision. When someone with a dog in a leash is running straight at them, they don't see the leash or the collar. All they see is a strange dog running at them.
Third:
A strange off leash dog I've never seen running at me makes me think I'm about to be attacked
Fourth:
So why do people running with their dogs act surprised when my dog goes postal when they're running straight at us?
My dog has been attacked by dogs that were either off leash, or broke their lead to attack him, four times. One was a running dog.
Then these people who run with their dogs get mad because because my dog lunged at their dog.
WTF??!!!!
