We were out at Felbrigg Hall (National Trust building and lovely walking area) in Norfolk one Saturday and I had Cherry and Parker on leads as we were near the shop and plant sale area when a small child (5ish) said "dog alert, dog alert!" in a loud voice to her parents. I am afraid I couldn't help myself and said in an equally loud voice "child alert, child alert!"

I think non-doggy people will avoid doggy areas if they feel strongly about it.
However I would imagine everyone would want to walk with dog walkers, they are by far the more sociable and interesting people to walk with

As a child i was absolutely petrified of dogs. I Used to dread going to our local park because of the amount of off lead dogs
Now as an adult dog owner i can see things from both perspectives but it all comes back to the same thing.... if the owners are sensible and the dogs are under control there is no issue.
