If you are a dog owner please never assume your dog is friendly and TRY to keep them on the lead.
As this is a mature forum,some of us know how unstable we become on our pins,and we don't want bounder jumping up at us.

I’m thoroughly confused as I’ve never had anyone’s dog ‘jumping all over me’. All the dogs I meet on walks either ignore me or just greet me with a waggly tail and all four feet on the ground.

What is so confusing about the fact that other people might have had a different experience to yours? Especially as people on here live in all different kinds of areas where social norms vary. Is that so hard to comprehend?

I finished work at 4pm and walked the 25 minutes home. I had 5 different dogs “just playing ”, running round my feet and pawing at me.
I just stand still, hyperventilating, not waving my arms or complaining. It’s becoming a nightmare!
