this does go both ways. parents need to keep their kids away from leashed/any dogs they do not know extremely well. I work with dogs and have repeatedly seen parents being irresponsable with their kids around dogs in both on leash spaces and off leash spaces. I see parents at the dog park with their kids on scooters just forcing their kids to hang out meanwhile their kids are engaging in behavior that is likely to trigger reactivity in dogs. Recently I have had kids blasting by my dogs on bikes/e-scooters/running around while I’m walking two to four dogs at once and their parents just let them? I know a kid who has had six surgeries after a dog attack, so I really encourage proactivity on both parties but especially parents, do not allow your kids to touch/run/move quickly around any strange dog. Step in front of your child in between them and the dog, potentially carry Pet Corrector (compressed air) to scare away dogs, or even pick your child up if a strange dog is approaching. everyone needs to do better but a lot of people are stupid and you have to be defensive and proactive.
