Obviously learned behaviour from the owner.
It's a bit of a balancing act and sometimes a difficult one. Our dog starts on the lead and, when I've asked people nearby if it's okay, I'll let her off for a run.
She is good and soft, however she is only young and wants to play - some dogs don't recognise her playfulness especially as she's large and strong.
Personally, dogs need to be allowed off to run and socialise, yet it's got to come with good recall, supervision and politeness - hence the balancing act.
But as I said, this often stems back to the owner of the dog rather than the breed; they mirror the characteristics of their owner, and more so without training.
Two weeks when I was walking my dog through Calderstones Park, she was off her lead and mingling around and sniffing as she usually does.
She has a wee (in my sight) and then continues playing, before over strides some bellend screaming I should pick my dog's stuff up and getting into my face.
Unsurprisingly, his little dog was by his side barking like mad. I calmly apologise and said I believed she was having a wee but would get it, if he points it out.
All along, his dog is growling and snapping and going for my girl, who timidly just backed off and hid away even thought she was far larger and stronger.
Oh no, as suspected there wasn't any faeces - it was just a wee. No apologies from him of course, and off her went with his little dog continuing to yap.
Although, maybe the lack of apology was after me telling him I'd volley him and his dog around the park if he came up like that again with such aggression.
Aggressive owners = aggressive dogs. Polite owners = nice dogs.
That right I do indeed run up to strangers and sniff their posterior.
I agree with this is most efficient and humane way to deal with the kid scranners.

Apparently Rottweilers are highly intelligent.
I've never stopped to converse with one as their appearance is intimidating.

Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Akitas, Belgian Malinois and so many other large dogs look intimidating but are very intelligent dogs.
Yes they’re natural nutritionists who know the highest protein content is in a child’s face.
Christ, park poop control. What a tit.
Balancing act indeed. Agree dogs need to run off, tend to take mine to an enclosed field and / or meet up with a few regulars in the same park whose dogs all like a run and play.
It's a minefield.
They turn any park into a minefield leaving large foul dog eggs which turn kids blind when they fall in it.
There are a few enclosed fields in South Liverpool (paid or free) that are great for this, as you often see the same people/dogs and the etiquette is there.
Plus, you can build up their recall skills without worrying about them getting free. Still, it's best to air on the side of caution.
You ever tried poached or scrambled dogs egg? Delicious.

Agreed, I've seen many disturbing and inappropriate things posted on these fine pages and I've gone too far.
