Off leash parks - what's with people?!

I've got to ask... Why does it seem like the world cares only about themselves?

Went to the offleash park near my house this afternoon. City park - posted offleash area... On 3 seperate occasions I had people yelling at me to put my dog on a leash - why? Because their own dogs were poorly trained, disobedient - or dog aggressive!

Many of you have met my pup - friendly as they come. And very well trained if I do say so myself. He won't approach another animal if I don't allow it. He'll drop into a sit/stay even when there's a tasty rabbit to chase. So why did I have to call him over, grab him by the collar - just because some other nitwits can't be bothered to properly train their animals? End result is ruining my time at the park - because their animals aren't properly trained... If you can't have your dog offleash at an OFFLEASH PARK - take it anywhere but an offleash park for gods sake!

And oh my god... The landmines - what is so hard about picking up after your own dog!?!?!?! There are bags full of safeway bags at the parking lot - there are dumpsters provided!

The more people I encounter (non reefers of course) the more I love my dog!
