"I can't say I blame them. When you have one of those little long haired rat bastard miniature dogs on twenty feet of cord, you are not controlling it. A dog should be walked with it by your side, not anywhere within a twenty foot radius of you " You used to be able to let your dog run free without a lead but now a lot of places insist on lead only walking. These long leads allow them to run and get enough exercise whilst still being on a lead. And btw, it's pretty easy to draw them back to you if needed, I do it all the time! | |||

"A Devon council is banning those long dog leads being used near cycle paths. Are this council pitting dog owners against cyclists ?" It's near cycle paths and highways. Parks and beaches are fine. You don't need a long line near a road or cycle path. Saying that, I've never seen a dog on a long line in those places so maybe it is a very small minority affected by this | |||

Cycle paths are usually used by everyone non vehicular. Pedestrians etc. I'm sure there are people walking who get in your way too, I've walked down a shared pathway and been beeped at by a cyclists. Most are totally lovely and will wait until you move, however some are very impatient and will shout at you. I mean, if you're racing, why use a shared pathway??  | |||

We have a pug and are extremely respectful and thoughtful to other pedestrians and anyone else passing. He is not on the long lead when people come close mainly because he dies down and refuses to move till they have passed by lol xxxxx it's a pug thing  Suzi | |||

"Does the long lead compensate for poor training " In a way, I'd agree with that comment. It's not just long leads which could get in the way of cyclists, but how many times do irresponsible owners allow their dog to roam at will on an extended lead and get in the way of other people. I thought walking the dog is to have it on a lead beside you, effectively being the 'leader', not giving it free rein to wander! | |||

You see it all the time. Why tar all dog owners with the same brush just because some are irresponsible pricks? That's like banning bikes from these paths too when they've taken some poor pedestrian out - yes it happens | |||

"Does the long lead compensate for poor training My dog will stay if I command and wait until I pull her back to a short lead. Hardly bad training " I agree but some dog owners seem to use long leads (especially the retractable ones) as a substitute for recall training. My dog’s recall is unreliable so he’s usually on a short lead unless we’re somewhere he can run free, or on a long lead but not where that could trip or tangle someone else. | |||

"If you’ve got a dog on a lead in Devon, ya ain’t local boi, we train our dogs to walk to heel. Bloody city folk, a dog is a tool, not a status symbol. Ridiculous. Dogs are not all working animals. My dog now Has to be on a lead, because she is so old that her hearing isnt sufficient. There is also a legal requirement to keep your dog under control in a public space. If they cant be relied upon to obey, they Must be on a lead. Aye you city folk make me an old dougie laugh so youse do, walking behind your hounds, bending down to pick up their little “trinkets” and then hanging them from trees like some strange dystopian Christmas. See Dougie’s me best friend but I very rarely have to pick up his doings, I’ve never asked his missus if she does… Now I loves dogs an all, and I understand you city folk wanting them an all, but does not a bricklayer love his trowel? " Assumption 1. I am not "city folk". I do not leave poo bags in trees. Thats just dumb. 2. Not having to pick up after your dog in the countryside is one of the reasons farmers have to deal with diseases in their cattle caused by dog faeces that can cause pregnant animals to abort. | |||

"Electric bikes and scooters are far more dangerous trouble is the cycling industry is worth millions and councils are getting huge grants and stuff to improve the infrastructure so there always going to look after them Go on son you have a fucking good moan. Ban every bastard!
I dont usally blast people on the forums but cyclists get on my goat I live in rural East devon tiny country roads only big enough for one car most of the time and every weekend the roads are packed with cyclists! And they don't ride single file and they usher you past them on blind corners! "The roads are big enough for several cyclists, one car, a horse or 2, people walking and maybe the odd sheep or cow, I would imagine. W hat don't you like about sharing the same space  | |||

" Plenty of irresponsible cyclists too. The number of times I've seen them speed past, no hint of them passing and coming out of nowhere behind people is shocking. " It’s impossible for a cyclist to come out of nowhere behind people. Behind is somewhere, so that’s where they came from. | |||
