You said nothing about using a leash yourself, so I was curious whether your dog is on leash when you are on public trails. That still isn't clear.  Voice control?  I checked the leash law again at http://www.muni.org/Departments/health/Admin/animal_control/Pages/leash.aspx  The last paragraph makes it clear that voice control only applies in certain circumstances: "All three of the above criteria must be met in order for a pet to legitimately be off-leash in public.  Examples of allowed activities may include dog agility trials, retriever training, and throwing/catching a Frisbee.  The code doesn't allow for off-leash dog walking unless the pet is in a designated off-leash dog park space."  What isn't legal is dogs loose on our multi-use trails.

Hatred of dogs?  No, but having been nipped a couple times in the distant past by loose dogs, and having these recent experiences, I'm alert and cautious when loose dogs are about. With bear spray at the ready.
