I have three dogs - 2 lurcher bitches, both spayed, and a castrated Patterdale terrier. Was out for a walk today on common, both lurchers off lead, Patterdale on lead as he tends to disappear down rabbit holes etc. We were approached by a woman with a small dog on a lead who started shouting and hitting one of my lurchers with a stick. My dog had not paid her or her dog any attention, but the woman starting yelling at me to control MY dog as HER dog was in season. I pointed out that my dog was nowhere near her dog, and was a bitch in any case. I was told that my dog should be on a lead at all times and it was very worrying for her as dogs tended to follow her home. I didn't know whether to laugh at her or hit her. I just told her that I would take action if she touched my dog in any way.
Would anybody here walk their dog in a public place when it's in season?
