Do NOT allow off leads to approach on lead dogs.
If a dog is on a lead -> this may be because the dog doesn't like other dogs, are in heat, recovering from surgery or are under training
If you have a dog that is off lead -> Off lead dogs should have a great recall and come back to you. It is important for the safety of your dog and other dogs that you do not let them run up to on lead dogs
You might cause -> Fearful response or potentially exacerbate existing pain in the dog, causing the dog to become worried by other dogs in the future
Or this -> Not all dogs like other dogs and you risk causing a fight and serious injury to your dog and the other dog as well as extreme distress for the owners
SO: Respect when other dogs are on leads and that there is a valid and important reason why. Don't compromise or risk what other dogs are going through by letting your dog approach.
