Huge numbers of dogs also have weird behavioral triggers with bikes, skateboards, and scooters. Will lunge at them as they go by. I was walking one of my friends’ dogs because they were out of town and the fucker tried to straight up yeet himself into oncoming traffic because he saw a bicycle on the other side of the road. Had dogs try to lunge at me as I biked by many times. Why do these people even take them out on bike paths???
Right? They’re territorial predators, and people just don’t train or socialize them. Those leashes that are on a spring and the dog can just spool out line, that’s not keeping your dog under control. idk, people are fucking goofy. And then they get goofy when you point out that their 40, 50lb predatory land mammal isn’t safe to take outside. Not safe for the dog, not safe for bystanders, because they made no effort at all to train the animal. Like fuck off, dude, you’re the one who couldn’t be bothered to take your dog to puppy socialization and teach it to stay, you are the villain here.

My roommate’s dog only hated longboards. Regular skateboards were fine. She was anti poser
I hate dogs because of shit like this. Definitely had cases where I’d be out walking and some dog would start charging across traffic at me.
