"But my dog is friendly" you might say. "She's gentle!" you call after them. "She just wants to play!" you say in defense.

Of course! But let's consider the other side of the coin. The other dog your dog is greeting may be:

- Fearful of other dogs
- Anxious of greeting unfamiliar dogs
- Needing space to feel safe
- Not wanting to be bothered
- Friends with only a few dogs
- Painful
- Infectious (kennel cough IS going around right now, by the way!)
- Recovering from an injury
- Learning, and NOT looking for distractions
- Not in the mood
- Doing something else that they are more interested in

I am sure there are plenty of other reasons I have missed. It's really quite simple -- Ignore or ask! It's not hard!

If it's a "no", clip on a lead or ask your dog to stick with you/"leave-it" or whatever specific cues you've successfully taught your dog prior to having them off leash in public.

EVERYONE deserves to be able to walk in peace. Even those who are unsociable, like me!

Our Animal Control and Compliance officers are responding to numerous complaints of dogs locked in hot vehicles. In 90 degree heat, your pet can die of heatstroke within 15 minutes, even parked in the shade with windows cracked. For example, on an 84 degree day, the temperature inside your car can reach 98 degrees...and that's with the windows cracked four inches! And it only gets worse as the outside temperature rises. Please take good care of your pets as the weather heats up this weekend.

A good read for dog owners!

While we're inclined to correct our dogs for poor leash behavior, it's often the person at the other end of the leash who's to blame.
