Whenever I encounter a dog on the trail I pick up Jesse and move off to the side to avoid interaction. I was hiking in Utah earlier this week and saw an off leash Aussie and 2 people. I had Jesse in my arms and moved off the trail. These people looked right at me and said something about how pretty the trail was then walked on. The dog followed and I thought it would ignore me but then it stopped at stared at Jesse. I asked the guy to call his dog and his response was “oh she’s friendly.”
