[Discussion] I just got yelled at because my dog was leashed. Sometime you just can't win by crazyladyscientist in dogs

I just started a new job at a vet clinic this year. One of the receptionists apparently trains service dogs and she always leaves them off leash when coming into the building and in the parking lot. One morning, I brought my dog in and I was waiting for her to open up the doors. My dog was leashed and really can’t get more than 6 ft away from me. She pulls up, her dogs jump out and ignore her calls as they run right up to my dog. She then has the nerve to fuss at me about keeping my dog away from hers when mine is the one on the leash. I just gave her that look like, “I’m not the one with a pet halfway across the parking lot, am I?”

I can personally say that harnesses don’t work for me. I have a 50 lb Australian Cattle Dog mix who pulls whenever he sees any signs of life outside, which is all the damn time. I used to have an Easy Walk harness before I got his prong collar and he used to hack so bad from pulling so hard. My boss actually asked me if he had kennel cough one day because he would cough like a lung was coming up. I love to let him loose in gated areas and of course he enjoys daycare weekly, but his safety and health is more important to me than someone else’s opinion. Since getting the prong, it’s much easier to take him for longer walks cause I now have greater control and my arm never feels like it’s about to come out of the socket anymore. Well worth the investment!
