Oh my God. Sean Sabrina! I agree with you guys, 100%. This is a soapbox. My husband and I are always on just put your dog on a leash. We have a reactive dog, he's a rescue. We haven't been able to socialize him. He was too old so he doesn't get along with other dogs for the most part. It's for your protection that my dog's on a leash. But if your dog isn't restrained and runs up on my dog, there's nothing I can do other than try to keep them apart, but then I get bitten whatever, Sean I carry a condensed air, can they make them for dog walkers about the size of Mace and they just let out a really loud and then it all the dogs just kind of stopped because of the noise. Um its non-lethal and a great way to, you know, distract the other dogs. Anyways, you guys have a great day.
