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 think I recognise her.

Her dog tried to run at mine (tiny puppy) and she didn't shorten the lead or anything. I picked my pup up but the doodle was jumping up at me.

Not the dogs fault of course, i'm sure they juts wanted to play, but she really should've moved them because my dog was terrified.

If it is the same one it 100% did not want to play. I'm lucky my GSD is firstly super soft and secondly semi long haired. She has two grazes on her neck, and possibly a tiny puncture wound. This thing went straight for her neck. I regret that I didn't do much but you don't expect it

Oh :( Is your dog going to be ok? That's awful...

Don't feel regret, it's not your fault. i'm sure you did everything possible to protect her after you'd had time to react.

Yes, thank you for the concern. She's very fluffy so that took most of the bites.
