I was paying extra attention to this the last 3 days and i noticed that about 8 of 10 people: hold their dogs close preemptively (most of the time nothing happens wiht those) dogs bork and need to be held back people cross to the other side

Is nobody bothering to properly train their dogs anymore? What is happening in the dog scene? is anybody else experiencing this?

This "Don't worry he's nice" shit is pretty irresponsible imo. Ignoring the fact that animals are still unpredictable regardless of their track record, people can sometimes have real trauma with dogs and letting your dog just trot up to people willy nilly could really upset someone. Also something could happen to the "nice" dog if the person or other animal isn't nice and frankly the owner of the nice dog would have only themselves to blame.

2 dogs have been injured by my dog for it and I just can't blame my dog.

Felt bad for a while and then just couldnt justify it anymore.

And let me be clear, we have had friends dogs over to the house, done controlled introductions and it has been fine. Took her to a kennel one time when we went on a trip and no fights reported because it was a professional staff and a controlled environment.

However, when a strange dog runs up and puts a nose in her butt without pause, she starts biting.

That first time she didn't have her guard up and got seriously injured stayed with her. Simple as that and I can't blame her.
