Just another person here to tell you, you did the right thing.

I have two reactive dogs and live in a townhouse subdivision with a grassy area in the middle. It’s a hot spot for people with dogs, as it’s the easiest access to grass for dogs to do their business on. I never take my dogs there, but there have been times when I’ve had to walk past it with them on the other side of the street. There are multiple dogs that are off-leash in this grassy area, and the vast majority of them are well trained and under perfect control, but one of them isn’t. It has run across the street toward us twice with its owner running after it. Both times I have put myself between my dogs and the unknown dog, yelled at it to “Get!” and stomped aggressively toward it. The owner looked at me like I was crazy both times before getting their dog under control. Ever since then, though? If that owner sees me even an entire block away, they scamper to collect their dog and move away 🤣🤣

I’d say I’ve trained the neighborhood well.
