That bothers me too, but the off the leash dog thing is dangerous for me and my dog, who's reactive. Most of the dogs whose owners do this are not well trained - they do not have good recall, and their owners just yell "he's friiiiiendly!" like that makes it okay. My dog has been attacked by two "friendly" dogs who are "total sweethearts" just for walking down the road on a leash with me. I've been knocked over by these friendly sweethearts and ended up bruised and scratched and grateful not to have been hurt worse. Nowadays, I carry a heavy baton with me, and any dog that doesn't back off is going to get whacked. I absolutely do NOT want to do this, but stupid pet owners brought this on themselves.

I know someone who got thrown from a horse because a "just friendly" dog ran up and spooked it while trying to play/herd it. I still think she should have fucking sued. I would have.

It is not hard to train most dog breeds, most dogs want to be trained and know tasks. Them running around undirected is actually pretty stressful to a lot of dogs. They need to have clear pack behaviours to guide them to feel happy. They want that. Running around being "friendly" is them trying to figure out what they should be doing in absence of direction of their owners.

Just a lot of owners don't want to put in the work, or they are the fluffy bunny types who think training is "cruel" somehow. Ya gotta be a little cruel to be kind, sometimes. Same with children, in many ways.

Of course some dogs are nigh untrainable. Livestock guardian breeds, some ratting terrier breeds, and huskies will all just do as they damn please no matter what.
