PLEASE! For the love of all that is good in this world LEASH YOUR DOG!

Some folks just don’t understand how scary these experiences with their unleashed dogs can be for other park goers and other furry companions!

So I’d like this to serve as a gentle but FIRM reminder— Im sure your dog is sweet as pie, mine isn’t and we don’t want to be approached!

A public space is not your backyard. The entitlement of some of these owners is so baffling and quite frightening.

Please keep us safe in these beautiful public parks! Please keep you and your dog safe by leashing up! (If your dog’s recall is 100, y’all are amazing and this isn’t about you)

I wish dog owners would realise if a dog is on a lead there is a reason. Stop letting your dogs run over to a dog on a lead and saying hes friendly!! It is so stressful for a reactive dog owner!

Reactive dogs still deserve to go for walks and enjoy sniffing and seeing the world.

Dog owners, Make sure they’re getting some sufficient exercise and mental stimulation so you know they’re not lacking! the fact that dogs that ARE bored, and that are NOT receiving sufficient stimulation, time with their owners and mental and physical exercise do tend to have more behavioral issues (being reactive, barking, having separation anxiety etc.) If you have no idea what these exercises are, these are a good place to start: https://braintrianing4dogs.com/MentalExercises.

Having a reactive dog can be a lonely experience that affects your entire life. Knowing there are people out there who understand and empathize makes it easier. 💕
