I would have to agree.

I agree with those who have stated that such behavior is not a dog owner trait. Plain and simple - it is a trait of rude people. Sadly, some people will not move an inch to share the sidewalk, whether they have a dog leash in their hand or not.

And it seems that as of late there are more thoughtless and entitled people everywhere. WHY?

c) or because their dog comes before people. You know the type they talk to their dog in the manner tone and way a parent speaks to a new born baby...oh poor baby needs to go potty" (an actual quote at SAM's Club parking lot) Some dog owner let their dogs off their leash and let them roam free. I believe this is a natural instinct and it is healthy one for their dog. But its one reason why people who chose to live in The villages ought to reconsider owning a dog. |

Not to hi-jack the OP but folks also do this in stores with their shopping cart. If a person is walking and someone is approaching do you just keep going straight ahead or do you have to step out of the way? For instance noone else is in the aisle then they come into the aisle in front of you but don't go around? I've also encountered this just in walking in stores. It's like it's purposeful and if you haven't noticed, do so some time. It's just a question and not something to start a negative exchange. As for the dogs on a leash I've observed that too. Why do folks have those kind that extend when they're walking on the squares? VERY dangerous!! I can see it for just the plain walks folks do but not when there are other pedestrians.

They are on the other side of the walk so that they can pretend they don't see their dog pooping and therefore feel that they don't have to pick it up. Keep walking and let them figure out what to do when you start dragging the leash, they might, and I do say might, learn a lesson from it. Oh, and if you were to accidentally fall because of it, I believe there are attorneys who advertise here. When I walk my dog he is on the same side as me and if someone is approaching I hold a very short leash just in case as he does like to jump on people and lick their faces.

Sadly we/i tend to notice the........

RESPONSIBLE owner. By the same MOST of the dog owners are responsible MOST of the time. The other day a guy with his white miniature poodle allowed it to take a dump at the brownwood farmers market. HE LEFT IT THERE. What should he have done? Pick it up and then handle food that someone else would purchase? Surely, I will get all kinds of SCREAMING replies BUT, dogs do not belong there. |

If you mean at the Farmers Market, I agree it's not a good place to take dogs. However I'd hate to see The Villages without dogs, and the majority of residents like them. (I base that on the fact that when we take our dogs downtown, people line up to pat them.) There are dog parks where dogs can play, socialize and run off leash. Some Villagers take their dogs to Bark Central in Inverness where they can swim. Most dog owners in The Villages are respectful and responsible.

While i agree re:dogs re: Broken hips

In many cases the question is which came first. Often the person breaks their hip and falls. Yes, it sounds surprising. Ask your doctor or someone you trust WHO KNOWS. |

I have two small dogs, and when a pedestrian is coming my way, I will move onto the street if it is clear and safe to do so until they pass. If it is not safe, then I keep the dogs on the opposite side of me as the pedestrian walks by. Please note that there are walkers who are quite rude, walking side by side and taking up the entire sidewalk as they gab away. When I am walking by myself, I refuse to entitle them to the whole sidewalk, so I will come to a complete stop and force them to move out of the way, or my stride becomes more purposeful and by body language, they can tell I am not planning to step out into the road to accommodate them-they always seem to get the message.

For the most part, lots of friendly spoiled pets in The Villages and a few "trained" dogs. Just my observation.

dogs
I have not experienced this on a path but I have on the squares. In my opinion dogs don't need to be at the squares. It does them no good and it can do harm to them or to others. We have an absolutely darling Bischon but we do not take her to the squares because we do not want her hurt or cause the hurt of others. You will just have to see her at our house, or look at this picture, she looks just like this!
