To demand people keep their dogs away from me on the seafront

[TigerPath]

I'm sick of random dogs coming up to sniff me and DS or getting under my feet. All dogs make me nervous even small ones. And I hate it when they cock their leg on my pram wheels

So now when a dog comes up to me or just before it reaches me I shout to the owner (politely but firmly) 'please keep your dog away from me/my pram'
Most oblige but a number are rude! Yesterday a woman retorted crossly 'but it's the sea-front'. I replied 'they should be on leads' and got a mouthful of abuse. There is a bloody great sign saying 'dogs should be on leads on the promenade'!! I wouldn't care if people kept them to heel but I don't want them touching me, my pram or tripping me up

AIBU??

[NeedACleverNN]

Was that entirely necessary there waitrose?

[WaitrosePigeon]

Yes, to stop the same old shit we are all trotting out! I'm not sure we are getting anywhere..

[WaitrosePigeon]

I think we can all agree that dogs that cannot be controlled should be on a lead.

Dog owners should be responsible and clean up after their dog.

Everyone else needs to be rational.
