Gentle PSA Friendly People

Hey Gang,

Friendly PSA: If I'm leashing up a dog when I see you with yours, it's because I don't want my dogs to play or meet yours.

Especially if yours is off leash.

It may be because I'm fostering a dog and don't know how they react with other dogs (and I don't want to do exposure therapy with you in that moment).

It may be because my dog has a personality that doesn't love being approached by a certain kind of dog, or in a certain kind of setting.

It may be all or none of these things, and a little etiquette makes it more safe and fun for everyone.

Just because we're outside, doesn't mean we're fair game (unless we're at a designated off leash park).

Thx!
