    I can't speak for other dogs but I'd likely end up like Saudi thief if I tried to put a muzzle on my fella. He'd eat your hand off if you tried as he doesn't like anyone touching his face.

    I don't exactly love dogs myself but I've always had one not out of my choice but that being said I don't mind them.

    I never let my dog off the leash as he just runs away. What annoys me is other people who do let their dogs off the lead in my local park as other dogs off the lead fight with mine so I've stopped walking there with my dog. There's a purpose built pen in my local park and yet people still won't use and let their dogs off in the rest of the park very inconsiderate.
    So you dont love dogs, but you have one not out of choice?
    Why do you have a dog do you mind me asking is it for work or something?

    I disagree with this. I think in reality most owners are pretty good. But unfortunately it is the negative that we notice more. You could walk past 10 dogs and not noticed, but the 11th one barked or reacted in some way and then there is an issue with irresponsible dog owners and their lack of control - but a failure to recognise the majority that were under control.

    OP, I think what you said in one of your later posts is the best option for you, continue to enjoy your walks and use the park and recognise that this is the first time it has happened in 2 years.

    Also, while the owners maybe have not acknowledged what you said, it may still have an impact on their future behaviour.

    to borrow from a politician, half of dog owners are good :P
