Babbs and Shcisamax have made good points.
Most people here in TV that have dogs are respectful of others rights and property, but some are not. To those that are not I say that just like your children, your pets shouldn't be bothering other people, ever.
It is the sense that some people have that what they want and need supersedes what others around them want and need that causes the difficulty.
I love to see people happy with their pets, it fills their lives in good ways. I love our cats and understand a person caring deeply about their animals. But I knew when we were raising our real kids, that if they didn't behave respectfully and stay within certain perimeters, other people wouldn't like them or enjoy them. I wanted that positive feeling from others for our kids.
The same goes for our animals. It is indeed unfortunate that some people will always be selfish. It makes it a lot less nice for all of us.
