But never anything like "how dare you walk that dog in public", etc. I think I might flip out it that happens.

Ya... that one was directed at Tank and it DID get to me. I hadn't had him that long, and he was SO mishandled by the his two previous owners. He is SO eager to please and had already come leaps and bounds and I was so proud of his progress. We took him out on some trails specifically to work with his reactiveness to other dogs, and he was doing really well, and of course being RESPONSIBLE and knowing what he is capable of AND that other assholes might have their dogs off leash dispite the signs stating dogs had to be leashed, I had him muzzled, because it was the RESPONSIBLE thing to do, yet I was being looked down upon for taking the time to work with him and handle him properly!

I was more mad for Tank. He is REALLY sensitive when it comes to people and he could see the anger in this guys face and voice and Tank just lowered his head like he thought he must have done something wrong. It was really cruel IMO.

Oh ya... forgot to say.. I lived in Windsor, Ontario with Venus as well. That was before the Windsor ban, that came before the Ontario ban.

Didn't get much in the line of bad comments there.
