Dogs on Trails.

wow! I really don't understand why some of us here can't understand that it's not okay for a dog to attack a person in a public place. She was attacked by this dog and that's not cool!
Who here actually said it's OK for a dog to attack someone?
I'm in agreement that dogs need to be on leashes - ESPECIALLY busy trails and parks with cyclists, runners and more importantly, children. I also think every dog should go through obedience training with its owner. Trained obedient dogs are happier dogs! There is only one trail I take my dog off leash to because it's known in my town as the trail where dogs are off leash. If he wasn't behaved enough to be off leash, I would keep him on, even at a trail like this. I even agreed that it's OK to have mace if a dog does attack. I just hope people use very good judgement in determining between "spook" and "attack".
I am sorry to anyone who has been bitten - it sucks and I should have started off in this conversation, first by being more sensitive to the OP.0
