For me its about 30% of the time lately. Even called animal control recently for a dog who's owners left him out in the cold for about 3 hours. But I still feel like maybe I should be doing more, i.e. calling out every person I see who isn't leashing their dogs. I'm usually pretty polite about it despite how angry it makes me, unless my dog is being attacked which has also happened recently. But there's also the reaction of the owner which you've got to account for. I guess I'm always fearing the worst which is that the owner will become hyper-aggressive of their irresponsible behavior and cue their dog to attack me, if not attack me directly themselves.
Is this irrational or coawardly? Should I be calling people out more?
How about you guys? How do you handle unleashed dog owners?
