#i dont think it was necessarily mine either even tho my dog is reactive and i know they use the same trail we do

I just took the dogs out for a walk down the hill into the woods, or I tried to. Met the neighbour's mum walking his dogs down there. All 4 dogs were off leash. I saw what was about to happen before she did. Jack and Oscar B-lined for each other and there was snarling and snapping and hackles were up. They managed to part and Oscar sniffed the lady's leg, which was shocking because he doesn't like people, either. So I scooped Oscar up and carried him away and apologized to her a bunch and said my little one isn't friendly and I was gonna take them home and I was so so so sorry. I have never met them down there before, but I guess it was bound to happen. Thankfully nobody is hurt and everything was fine. It didn't go as badly as I would have thought.

I didn't want to take them for a walk down our usual route because there is a new person living down that way with a dog that I have seen loose a few times and I don't think it's friendly with other dogs, so we officially have zero safe directions to walk our dogs in town. Every single route there are loose dogs that have already attacked us before, OR I know aren't friendly.

I'm so disappointed. I'm so so so disappointed. Idk what to do anymore. I can't take my dogs anywhere. Oscar HATES being in the car. Not that there is anywhere I can really drive them to anyway.
