Even a friendly dog with excellent recall can cause real problems for the owner walking their reactive dog on leash; a dog running free is highly exciting to other dogs; it's not fair for the owner of the reactive dog to have to deal with that overstimulation in a "leash only" area.

I recently I commented that it is not fair. But your comment makes me feel incorrect. I have had a reactive dog before and I feel that your comment is valid.

yes because they are putting their dog as well as people with leashed pets at risk. Not all dogs like other dogs and not all people are comfortable with strange dogs running up to them.

There are laws and rules for a reason. No one should think that laws and rules don't apply to them. If they want their dog off leash then go out in the woods where no one else is or to a fenced dog park.

BECAUSE most dog owners that do this have zero respect for others or property.. NEVER pick up poop and feel entitled

There are leash laws for good reason. On a side note Bend Parks and Recreation need to put up signs at dog parks reminding owners that they are liable for damages their dogs cause to other dogs or humans under Oregon law. Bend PD treat dog parks like they are outside of their jurisdiction.

A bad dog owner is someone who is not able to care of the animal or mistreats the animal. The person is just not considerate of others and will break the law for whatever reason they may have. *if you have an aggressive dog it is the OWNERS responsibility to keep the dog under control anywhere

There are many factors, if your dog has great recall and obeys to stay in a heal being off leash is fine as the dog is still in verbal control. Dogs that do not listen should not be off leash.

Maybe there pet is trusted and not reactive. Why does a none relative happy pet need to be restricted?

Apparently so, with the number of deaths in that stretch.
ReplyTo many peo0le are dying in that area
ReplyOur son Micah Borden died there in that same spot September 29,2022. Something needs to be done with that road. He was 23 and died on that road
ReplyUnfortunately I know too many people that have lost their lives on this death trap they call a highway. I am scared to death to drive hwy 97 with my family in my vehicle let alone myself driving to work.PLEASE do something before someone else's loved one is lost. Need dividers south end to the north
ReplyAbsolutely, as traffic volume has increased dramatically! Also due to a need for more safety barriers or a different alignment or separation may be required from Madras to Redmoond. Too many unprotected left turn roads leads to unsafe following or stops❗️
ReplyHow many more people need to die, before ODOT and the power 's at be on the west side if Oregon pay attention to the safety issues on the central Oregon stretch of Hwy 97! Shame on you!!! Highway 97 is a death trap and ODOT KNOWS IT!!!!
ReplyAll of Oregon's are highways dangerous.. most passes are two lanes and obviously we have snow..and distracted drivers, which makes head on collisions more likely. I have no idea why there aren't at least road dividers to prevent head on's. Too many deaths...
ReplyIt's like a bottleneck of traffic thru there. Every time I drive thru, the traffic is really heavy. But trying to cross the highway going west or east is impossible. I usually turn the way of traffic then Take next exit to turn around and go the way I need.
