Most of the dogs I encounter when riding or walking are poorly trained and completely unruly. Many of the owners think that everyone loves their animals, so don't mind letting their dogs come up to you, sniff around you, bark at you or jump on you. I rarely come across a dog who pays any attention to the commands of its owner. I like dogs well enough, though I believe dog owners should keep their dogs leashed and quiet. I'm no fan of being barked or growled at when I ride or walk by a dog whether the dog is in a fenced yard or walking along with its owner. don't people who own dogs get tired of listening to their pets barking at everyone who walks or cycles by their yard?
