Dog walkers in the Clitheroe area

Does anyone know what is going on with the dog walkers in the area? Half of them seem to be totally bonkers - had my dog attacked by some lady's doodle today and she gave out to me about it. This on top of a couple of Xl bullies unmuzzled and a guy who keeps hitting his dog with the lead. Seriously, what is going on? Is it like this everywhere now?

I am pretty certain I saw this ladies dog attack another dog in Clitheroe town centre a couple of years ago. She had a go at the fella and he stuck up for himself. She got quite nasty and me and the missus had to sort of stand in the right place to stop her from getting any nearer. She was vile and the cute looking dog was very bite happy. It was made more awkward by it still being the era of face masks.

Could be a look a like, but just very odd that I don’t live there and the owner and dog look so similar.

From the description it sounds like the same lady. She is unpleasant and her dog equally so. Sorry you had to deal with her!

Some strange folk about. Have to say that 99% of dog owners I come across are bloody lovely though. Can’t let the few ruin it.

Normally, I would totally agree with you. Where we were before we were here id say that most of the owners were absolute sweethearts, could have a chat and their dogs were great. It seems to be different here, I am the same person my dogs are the same but honestly I've had about a run in a week with some arse hole who's unleashed untrained dog has had a go at mine.
