But yea, one walk around my block with my dog, and I can encounter at least 3 off leash dogs that come after us.

Even to take a quick pee, we harness and leash both our dogs and walk them in our yard. It’s just not worth the chance to have anything go wrong.
A little off subject, but does dog pee kill the type of grass used in TV? In Virginia, it caused brown spots on the lawn. Here it seems like a type of crab grass.
Thanks
