J-bo09 - if you lived on my street and I asked you to keep your dog on a leash, would you?

Sure I would. You make it sound like my dog runs wild. All I said was that I usually just let my dog walk next to me a block down the alley as we head to the park to play.
If a neighbour was specific and said this bothered them, would I stress about having him on a leash...of course not. I always have the leash with me, and my dog is trained.
However, I've noticed you have ignored my points. I know your history with dogs. You have stated that you use to egg them on when is cars. You have stated how much you hate them. So what happened to your daughter to make her so afraid?
In this incident, I never once said that the owner was right. Just that your reaction to the situation, and subsequent whining about it shows how you handled it.
If your daughter is afraid, why not introduce them in a safe and calm enviroment? Oh right, you have an irrational hate to the dirty filthy mongrels. However, if you took a few minutes to show her that there is nothing to be afraid, maybe next time this is a non incident.
Then again, why blame yourself, dog owners are easier!
