I'm not excusing biting because that is inappropriate behaviour but 1 in 5 dogs bark? Well, they all do. 1 in 50 runs up to intimidate him? How does he know that's their intention? My dog runs up to people all the time (never barking) because she wants to play. That's what these areas are for.
I'm just saying that if you're that nervous around dogs, don't go to off-leash areas where people will have their dogs off leash.

Wow, get a clue. When in an off-leash area, a dog must respond to voice commands and therefore shouldn't be running up to people.
According to our bylaws...

Dog owners must ensure their dog does not:
Bite anyone
Injure anyone
Chase, threaten or attack a person or an animal
Bark, howl or disturb anyone
Cause damage to property or animals
Scatter garbage

You've mentioned your dog runs up to people in other threads. When are you going to grasp the fact that you are in the wrong in that scenario every single time? Dogs are not allowed to disturb anyone in the City of Calgary. Getting into their personal space is absolutely disturbing somebody without exception. Please start following the bylaws. They are there for people exactly like you that wouldn't take all of the above as no-brainer common sense and actually need to be told that what you are doing is disruptive and ridiculous.
