Aunt Sally, Fred. There are not too many people saying "ban all dogs." Not me, not Dave as far as I can see. Most dog owners can't understand why some people don't like dogs. We just want a bit more consideration, that's all.   Keep your dog under control (a big ask for an awful lot of owners), keep it quiet, keep it away from other people who demur (I never, ever want anyone's dog to race round my feet or jump up at me or my kids, as were) and pick up the shit. That should be perfectly acceptable.   Otherwise, don't bring it.
