I've walked a dog in a public area while I didn't have a leash. I'm *extremely* strict with them when I do that; the dog walks by my side and gets yelled at when they move even a centimeter from the prescribed spot.
I only do that as a training exercise, or in a pinch when I don't have a leash nearby and we need to go somewhere. The dog doesn't like it (obviously). But people who just let the dog roam free? Yup, assholes.

No I'm not. I'm fully prepared for the fact that the dog may see something on the other side of the street, and will grab them by the collar if they show the smallest indication of paying attention to anything that isn't me.
Like I said, I only do this in a pinch, when the dog is too large to carry around and there is no leash nearby, or for training.

Eh, sorry. I may disagree, but I'm not saying you're wrong? I was just offering another opinion. No need to get upset 🙂
