anastasia: Your right, of course, but, if you don't want to be around dogs that are off-leash, then why don't you simply just go elsewhere? I share my life with one fixed female doggie who's barely ever on a leash, and she goes to a park where there are upwards of twelve or so other dogs off-leash and they just play, play, play, till they all drop.....I puppy-sit on the weekends for a friends NOT-fixed male (he's about 10 months & probably sixty pounds) and I can't take him there, due to his not being fixed, he isn't easily accepted into the pack due to his constant sniffing, humping, etc.....so, long story short, we go elsewhere when he's around, somewhere not so dog-oriented (tho I do keep him off-leash as long as he behaves and listens to me when necessary) as he LOVES to chase every chipmunk, squirrel, and deer (lol) that he can scare up.....I think there's room for both types of dogs, sometimes you just gotta search out the right type of park, woods, forest, etc.
