My sisters live in Anchorage, there and other places in AK have simpler resolution to constantly barking dogs. Dogs left barking in the yard end up dead from a,single gunshot wound. Debarking surgery is a very common procedure.
Leashed or not, any where that dogs are permitted, they need to be under control. I've encountered plenty of leashed dogs that exhibit very aggressive behavior towards people and other dogs, snarling and snapping. The "pet parents" of such dogs have a messed up relationship with their dog. Dogs expect to fit into their pack in a particular place. Humans that don't assert dominance over their dog have out of control furry beasts. Those that do and take the time to proper train their dog can, where permitted by law, allow their to roam free knowing that the dog will return to their side on command, even if there is a fat lazy marmot whistling from a nearby rock.

Much depends on the dog as well. My old elkhound just didn't like other dogs. Off leash he was okay, he just ignored them. On leash was a different story - he became very aggressive toward other dogs. He was trained well enough that it wasnt a problem unless the other dog approached too close. I had several incidents with off leash dogs trying to interact with him while running in city parks where leashes are supposed to be employed. I'm all for cracking down on people who flaunt the rules in high use areas like city/county parks.
As for recall, elkhounds have selective hearing. Once beyond a certain radius they go deaf. Pretty much any elkhound owner will tell you thats just how it works with them. As much as i loved my elkhounds, there are good reasons why i'm not likely to get another. Having a dog that actually wants to do what i ask him too is refreshingly different.

Great story. It illustrates what's wrong with today's society. Heck, I'm going to take some artistic liberty here and rewrite the ending of the story.
Kids: Waaaahhhh dad, why can't we play here?
George Johnson: Well kids, dad didn't find out in advance that the park didn't allow dogs. It's MY FAULT. Let's go up north somewhere else.
Kids: OK dad.

Love it! 9mm debarking surgery.
Kind of like the guillotine being a cure for a headache

Venom, you seem needy. There are lots of places on the internet where you could get more action.

Less than two years ago I took my kids and dog to Carkeek Park. Dogs weren't allowed on the beach, on any of the trails, or near the playground. We couldn't do much at all, so we left and returned to Snohomish County, where life for dogs is much better. My kids now hate Seattle because Seattle hates dogs. |
So... because you feel you should be able to take your dog places they aren't allowed, you hate an entire city and allow your insanity to afflict your children? Nice.
Just because you love your dog and feel it should participate in all of your life's activities doesn't mean the rest of us should have to participate.
I eagerly await my pet Rhino so I can head over to Carkeek Park. Hell, he'll be my service animal on account of my (fictional for the sake of argument) fear of dogs. Can't stop this. Maybe a couple of honey badgers too.

Seattle businesses might wish they stayed and spent money...
I am constantly meeting "service animals". There is a service pit bull that wears a muzzle, a three legged and severely matted pomerianian, a bunny and a mutt of unknown origins that has very poor puke control.
ADA is skeery so a service animal is an animal someone say is a service animal that isn't pooping, peeing, barking or biting... too much

Mine kissed me at some point today as I got them ready for our 3 mile walk. (no I haven't brushed yet) The dogs wanted to drink out of the nearby pond/swamp but I didn't let them. I think the ducks might poop in there. 
But we did find four snakes and a coyote.
But you will be happy to know mine are always leashed. I also didn't see any unleashed dogs.

Sure this place is dead, boring, and full of losers. But it's OUR place, darn it!
