My dogs are no threat to anybody and I would not want to be stuck in one area of a park where dogs are allowed off lead, and muzzle them when they come out of that area!! Why should I? They are teensy and have NEVER shown any aggresion to anyone, don't tar responsible dog owners with the same brush as the irresponsilbe ones:X I pay my taxes and my dogs are very well behaved, I want to walk around the park, where I want to go, not be told where I can let them off, in a "DOG AREA" Forget it!

I also know what you mean about the irresponsible owners with there dogs off lead, having 2 little dogs I get worried if a dog thats not well trained and the owner don't have much control over etc, comes up to them :'(

I walk on the Rye every day with 2 very small dogs. My dogs attract loads of attention from children on almost a daily basis. I don't have any children myself, but I am very aware that some are frightened of dogs as are some adults. If a child wants to stroke my dogs, I pick them up and get down to the level of the child and talk to them answering any questions they ask. A majority of children ask before they touch my dogs and I always thank them for that, some of them come running over so loud and so fast that they frighten my dogs and the parents are very laxadasical about stopping them :'( I took both of my dogs to training classes and the youngest one got her Bronze Kennel Club Good Citizen award which made me very proud indeed :)) She got fed up with the classes after a while, so we didn't go on to the silver and gold awards. I always call them to heel, if I think someone is frightened of them, or they go to close and I make a really huge effort with all the children, even though I am not a "kiddy person", I like it when kids and dogs get along. Dogs are wonderful creatures and they give us so much, but if you are frightened, you should maybe try to overcome your fears starting with small dogs so as not to pass it on to your little ones. My sister is an arachnophobic, but my neice is not because she tried not to freak out in front of her whenever a spider passed by, its harder with dogs, I know, but this is an example. I would be only to happy for Don Quixote or ratty to talk to me and my girls in the park if it would help? I think all potential dog owners should have to attend training classes by law, because a hell of a lot of people don't know anything about the breed they are buying or what to do with it, or sadly how to treat it. There are some idiots out there walking there dogs, but a majority of us do pick up after our dogs (I don't wanna tread in poo either) and we do train our dogs and thoroughly enjoy walking in the park and meeting people, and we are considerate to other peoples feelings. I am sorry that some of you have encountered the irresponsible owners and havent had a positive experience with dogs that we enjoy :'(
