Dogs Off Leash At Wrong Time in Park

I took Marty back to the woods today and it was during the hours dogs have to be on their leashes. We have not been there for awhile and we both enjoy it there. On the way back to our car a woman was at the entrance to the woods and she had her dog that was not on a leash and the owner was not carrying one with her. I told her to keep her dog away from my dog . I have real bad balance do not like having a dog running crazy around my dog. The woman let her dog come right up to my dog and was standing right over Marty with his face right over my dog back and the dog fur was raising on his back. I do not know if the dog was growling as I can't always hear that sound. I did tell the woman her dog belongs on a leash and she said she bring her dog everyday . I guess she feel she does not have to follow the rules.
I find it very frustrating that dog owners have from 7-10:30Am and from
4-7:30 Pm to let their dogs run free and yet they bring their dogs to the woods to run free when it not allowed. OK I am done with my ranting...

Did you get her license plate number? Assuming she drove there. Hope not, but you might need it some day.

I did not see how the woman got to the woods , there was a car parked there but I had no idea if it was her. I did call the ACO and he said he would step up his parole. There is a fine for letting your dog off their leash at the wrong time.
People bring their children there a lot and they may only go when dogs have to be on their leashes so this is another reason I feel dog owners should follow the leash law. A child could hurt or bitten. I did tell the ACO that I may start writing down people license plate number and the ACO told not to do that as I could get into a fight with the person and he does not want that to happen to me.

I agree I do not understand why some people feel they are above rules. I run into the problem with dogs off leash in non off leash parks. I take Clark there because all dogs are suppose to be on leash, he is not a dog friendly boy. When a dog runs up to play he sees it as aggressive and it is not pretty. And guess who they yell at duh. I call AC all the time and complain and have yet to see an officer there ever.

That has happen to me too. I take my dog to a park where dogs are not allowed off their leashes at any time. I told one woman to keep her dog away from my dog and me and told her dogs are not allowed to run lose at this park. The woman told me myself! I bet the AC will come around after a dog or kid get attacked by a dog at your park. I really love taking my dog to the woods as there are so many things for him to explore with his little nose. I love watching his nose wiggling a mile a minute. LOL!

happens everyday and most of the time the dog is provoked...just imagine if they didn't have a leash. Yikes!
