To think, if you can't recall your dog, it shouldn't be off lead?

The amount of bloody loose yappy, jumpy dogs my 4 year old comes across, where the owner ineffectually tries to call them back is ridiculous now!

One time I had to ask owner to call back, as the dog was being ridiculous, and he was like "Coco..... Coco..... Coco..... Coco.....".

Multiple times, I've ended up taking them by the collar back to their owners who then look like I've dragged them by the ears or something.

Keep them on the fucking lead!!!

I've got a dog that stays on his lead because of poor recall. Other dog is not interested in other people or kids, she prefers her ball.

No.

If you can't recall your dog, keep the leash on.

Seriously? People pay for an enclosed dog park and you’re saying they should be kept on a lead when they’ve rented an enclosed space to exercise their dog? Utter madness 😂

Long lines are a blinking nightmare, just train your dog. Saying that mind is a twat at times but doesn’t get off in places people are as we are v rural he’s on lead elsewhere

If a dog has poor recall take it to an enclosed dog park or dog field to exercise off leash.

You're not being unreasonable. Anyone who voted so is probably one of the dicks that makes everyone hate dogs and their owners.

My dog goes off lead, in places he's allowed and he has bullet proof recall. Unless they have that then they should be on a long line.
