    Really wish people would keep their dogs on leash in areas where it literally says to keep your dog on leash. Some dog runs right up to mine not even 50m away from said “dogs must be on leash” sign. I don’t wanna hear “ohhhh sorrrrrryyy about that”, I just don’t want your dog to run up to mine smh

      I have a fear of strange dogs. the fucking cunts who get their noses out of joint when you tell to control their bity fucking animals where the sign says to are as bad as they come. I used to walk my housemates huge staffy ridgeback, on a lead. he was known to bite other dogs. trying to explain to these fucking hipsters in footscray having a picnic, this isn’t even my dog, so I can’t absolutely control him and here’s your bouncy labradoodle snapping at it cos you want it to be “free”. people have no common sense.

      I’m hongohones, and this is today’s what really grinds my gears.

        I hear ya. My dog was attacked as a puppy on two separate occassions from off lead dogs, and as a result he’s not great with dogs who run up to him suddenly while he’s on a leash (which he always is because I don’t trust other people or cars lmao). I also don’t walk him where I know there’s gonna be lots of dogs just in case, cause people suck - so that generally rules out all the nice dog-friendly places we could go. He hasn’t actually attacked another dog, but I don’t wanna take that risk because I’ve had friends whose dogs were perfectly trained with no prior negative experiences, and have still ended up going another dog in certain situations. I just want my bebi to be safe, especially since going for super long walks with him is one of my favourite things to do :(
