How boring for them! It is super frustrating when people think that rules don't apply to them. I like what you would have said. It shows that I am not being a dog hater, but a rule is a rule. Having a dog at the track could be dangerous for both the dog and the people working out.

Makes no sense! Sounds like you handled it very well..<br />On a different note. There is a great running place in Eugene that has a dog park next to it. I was there running when this guy put his dog in the park, closed the gate and took off for his run! The dog just kept barking and barking for him.

It's so...I own a dog and I would NEVER do that! It's so frustrating when other dog owners act like their needs are a higher priority than sharing public space. Particularly on a track! <br /><br />When I'm on a shared use path and people are letting their leashed dogs wander all over, I usually say a quick (and sometimes annoyed) "ON YOUR LEFT!" if coming from behind them. And I definitely have shot some dirty looks at people allowing their dogs to roam free on paths where they should be leashed. <br /><br />If I had been in your position, I would have attempted to be empathetic but stern - something like, "I have a dog myself, but when I come here to work out on the track, I leave him at home, because the signs here are clear about no dogs allowed." <br /><br />Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10996899623483657941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7735335637183041826.post-87549164383859748842013-05-10T06:31:50.013-07:002013-05-10T06:31:50.013-07:00Oh my gosh I would get so frustrated with that too...Oh my gosh I would get so frustrated with that too. You don't need to take up an entire road people!!!! Then when you do say something, they do look at you like you are an idiot and that you are disrespecting them. Some people just don't think that the rules apply to them and it honestly ruins it for the those of us that do follow the rules. <br /><br />If my workout would have been longer than just 6 x 400s I might have left. There was another track about miles away or I could just just went to the park where the dumb lady should have been walking her dog in the first place.
