Unleashed dogs can be a problem even if they are super trained. I have a dog that needs lots of exercise, but he’s very reactive toward other dogs. I find myself stuck on what to do with him sometimes because I can’t trust that we won’t end up crossing paths with an unleashed dog on the trails near our house, and he could end up attacking the other dog when it comes up to “say hi”.

Fuck them and their “but she is special” dog. Your dog is not special to me, nor anyone else for that matter.

A friend of mine trains German Shepards. His dogs are extremely well trained. He hates off leash dogs. It drives him crazy a stranger comes along with an unleashed dog and yells don't worry he is friendly. He immediately replies back "well my dog definitely is not friendly". He uses the "not friendly" vests. Still there are those that cross the street wanting to pet his dog.

He does take his dog on walks in crowded areas to work on the dog ignoring distractions. It's amazing how his dog will just watch him for the next command.
