    "A lot of time dogs are out of the owners control. A lot of medium to large sized dogs that pull and scare dogs that are much smaller. Also the possibility of being blamed for not picking up dog feces when in fact it’s the other people in the neighborhood. There is a lot of grass available for walking but it’s full of feces from other dogs going in it so it makes it difficult to walk your dog without stepping in something "
