You did do something wrong. You threatened people. And it sounds like you are doing 1,000 repeats in a dog run, which you may want to reconsider.
Think about whether you’d have acted the same way if the couple wasn’t old and unable to defend themselves physically against you.
Listen, I get frustrated with dogs sometimes, but they’re dogs. This sounds like a dog-focused park so maybe go find a track or another field? Just learn from the experience and try to be a nicer, kinder person.
Good luck with the training!
He didn't say at a "dog run". And I have found "dog people" need straightening out. He also didn't say he threatened people. Dog owners have no concept of anyone but themselves. Dogs are still animals and as a runner I don't like being suddenly faced with a pit bull nipping at my legs while their ahole owner, keeps saying "aw he doesn't bite".
Having my kid and myself both chased by pit bulls in last 6 months I carry mace everywhere now (on runs). For the dog, and if need be...
Good for you OP. Good for you. I love it.
