According to our bylaws...
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. |
According to the bylaw dogs are also not allowed to chase other dogs which leads me to believe the person who wrote the bylaw has never watched dogs play with each other.
And yes my dog does run up to people. I take her to the dog park to play with other dogs. Other dog owners love her and encourage her to play with them too; hence the running up to other people. If a person is clearly uninterested in playing with her, she runs right by. She also comes when I call her.
You should go into bylaw enforcement and just hand out in dog parks giving tickets. Clearly, you are on a mission to educate the masses.
