Certainly, Sue! I'm all for dogs being able to run and play. The place where we adopted Gus, has a huge Bark Park we can use...but it's 45 minutes away. Others are closer to ys. And some dogs are so well behaved and/or trained, that they don't need a leash. I love to see them run and play Frisbee, etc., etc.

It's just that some dogs aren't like that and to varying degrees. We don't really know about Gus yet...that will take time. But we will respect ordinances. Most of the neighbors on my street are older retired women and those that have dogs, have smaller ones that are not trained at all. They run off, jump, bark, growl, and defecate anywhere. (The owners would not clean up until the board read the riot act when several of us complained; we have sheer blinds and knew who and when; they were mortified -- I also said I would stop cleaning up and if their visiting families stepped in it, so be it, and that did the trick. Some still won't leash, and some go to the outer sidewalks, h a very the dogs defecate there, and just walk away.)

It's the owners, not the dogs. You and I agree. If owners did their part and knew theirvanimals' behaviors, all would be well.😊
