Leading on from that---my rule would be TRAIN your dog! Recalls are not rocket science, nor are instant downs.

I agree, that's my general rule too - no going near on lead dogs, but off lead dogs are ok to meet.

I know this theory all falls apart with the number of people who appear to walk DA dogs off the lead though
