People who ignore leash laws.

There is no reason for a dog to be off leash other than someone forgetting to close a gate and the animal escapes... All dogs should have a leash on them when they are off their property. I train dogs, nothing is sadder when someone looses a pet because they ran away or got out of thier yard and the whole family is runnung around looking for thier pet..

I agree, people who don't keep an eye on their dog show a real lack of responsibility! Almost every time I take our dog for a walk (on a leash), we encounter someone else's dog running loose. We have a leash law in our town but of course people ignore it. The leash law even extends to cats. Our neighbor lets her cats run and of course, they come into our yard. This upsets me because I have a special place in our front yard for birds and of course, that's where her cats are drawn to because they want to kill the birds. People who let their pets run loose shouldn't be allowed to have them.

Wow! I would hate to live in place that lacked such freedom. My dogs walk to heal behind me. Keep you dog on a leash if you have not trained it but better still train it. Dogs enjoy training and benefit from it. A trained dog is happier than an untrained one. Those that let untrained dogs wander around in urban areas are irresponsible and should not have dogs all the best urban

People who ignore leash laws are just inviting disaster. It could be an accident just waiting to happen. You can not gain control of your pets properly without a leash. these laws are made to protect everyone. We should use them with wisdom.

Definitely as well as neglect and non-caring, as most people love pets and certainly would not to have a day where as that pet attacked a person and or a child. There is no way of knowing when their pet is going to lash out. Like all laws this is one that needs to be enforced as often times I hear on the news where as a dog mulled a child. Then the owner comes on to say this is so not like their dog to have ever demonstrated this type of behavior. My thinking is if not only should they assure the safety of their pet but more so for all passerby.

Yes, it's irresponsibility. Nobody should disconsider others rights to enjoy their properties by letting the dogs roam free. Dogs may destroy others properties, they can bite innocent people, they can foul the environment or they can only scare people around the neighborhood. Plus, if those dog owners say they love their dogs, they must think that such dogs are exposed to so many risks.

Definitely! I would love to go on early morning walks but what stops me are the dogs that roams around. Carrying a stick does not help my confidence nor give me courage and dare the dogs. Oftentimes while walking home I would meet a dog and I would turn away from the dog or simply stop wondering what the dog would do. It really scares me. I wish dogowners would give a little more consideration to neighbors.
