I was quite annoyed at the entitled attitude and upset at the language he felt entitled to use.
What would you have done? What should I have done?
I'm very tired of individuals that believe that it's fine to have their dog off leash in public areas. Every part of The Villages is in a county with leash laws.

I had the EXACT same experience this morning (Tuesday), near the Atlas Canine Park (before it opened). Some lady gave me some crap, when I politely mentioned that unleashed dogs were not allowed. I gave it right back to her in spades, took her photo and called Community Watch. Community Watch told me to call Lake County Police Department, but if I didn't have the woman's name and address, there's nothing they could do. I later called the District Office, who told me to call the nearby Rec Center.
The rules are only for *some* people, apparently not for everyone.
