I've had my dog for around 18 months now, and shes pretty well trained. When we're out walking she will sit down if theres a bike around until it passes and she'll wait until I tell her to carry on before she gets up. If I'm on my bike or trike she'll run beside me (I don't ride fast!). Despite this training I still get abuse from cyclists who seem obviously don't like dogs! Surely a well trained dog off the lead is far safer to pass that a dog thats pulling on an extendable lead?
So, what would you do differently? Could I have trained the dog differently, or are some cyclists beyond help?
(for what its worth, I've never had an issue with dogs when cycling)
