If you own a dog please take a class on dog training. The good teachers there will tell you the class is more about training YOU as an owner than the dog.
I will walk my dog, a well trained quiet non aggressive dog that does what I ask of her, when I ask of her while on our walks off leash. The chance of me getting a ticket don't scare me. She stays within 6 feet of me unless I wander away while she sniffs a tree. Then I walk back to stand beside her.

Occasionally I will see up ahead some person with usually a small dog, that has never been trained to walk on a leash properly, scowling at me.

My thoughts are, " Fuck You go back to where you came from, this is the West, the land of open ranges and self reliance.".
My dog stands next to me looks at your dog, flags her tail in an doggy invite to say hello. So you, the self rightous dog walker with a leash, who is shooting me dirty looks and thinking, "your dog should be on a leash!", allows the small little shit at the end of your leash to be barking, lunging to the end of the leash, ignoring your ineffective mewlings of "stop it Chloe!".

In reality what your doing is rude to me, and what your dog is doing is the doggy equivalent of yelling, as loud as possible, at my dog, screaming in dog-ese

FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU, FUCK! YOU COME ON FIGHT ME! I WILL KICK YOUR ASS, WHAT ARE YOU A CHICKEN, WIMP! FUCK YOU FUCK YOU!
