According to the 2016 census, Calgary has over 135,000 dogs in the city, if the majority were considered bad owners, I imagine we'd hear more about dog bites.

In 2014, the city had 641 confirmed reports of aggression incidents, with 252 dog bites, despite a large upsurge over that period in the city’s human and pet population. The numbers of bites saw a marked rise starting in 2012, but officials say it’s due to a recent campaign asking residents to report all forms of bites. In 2014, pit bulls were responsible for 16 per cent of bites, retrievers for 9 per cent and shepherds for 10 per cent.
I think most dog owners get pissed off when they hear about ####ty owners, I know I do.. but much like any other group (cyclists for example), it's usually a small idiotic minority that make the majority look bad.
