Walking your four-legged friend with a leash is more than just keeping them safe. It makes a statement to the world that you respect the environment, yourself, and those around you.

Leashing up ensures the safety of all animals (including your pup) involved, helps keep public spaces tidy and free of unwanted surprises and keeps everybody happy. Taking the extra step of restraining your dog will give you peace of mind in knowing they’re under control while allowing others to feel safe in your presence as well.

Don’t be a rebel or rule-breaker. Keep on leashin’ your doggos!

Just because your dog is a good boi doesn't mean he won't have the tendency to attack people or other pets. Remember that an animal's behavior can be unpredictable.

Today, we're going to look at the story shared by a dog owner on the “Am I The A**hole?” (AITA) subreddit. The woman and her boyfriend own one dog each.

They live in a duplex, plus her boyfriend owns the next property. In other words, they have a huge yard for the dogs.

The thing is, their property isn't fenced. One time, their female neighbor, together with her dog, passed by the property.

One of the original poster's dogs ran to the woman, but she called it before it could reach the neighbor and her dog. This woman was upset and yelled at her to leash her dogs.

Later, her boyfriend arrived and saw Animal Control at their doorstep. This guy talked to the authorities about the OP's situation.

And then he got upset at his girlfriend and started yelling at her for failing to confront their neighbor about their dog.

The OP opens her story about her property and the dogs that she and her boyfriend own.

When a neighbor walked past the property, her dog ran after them.

The OP called the dog's name before getting near the neighbor.

She acknowledges her mistake.

This is when the problem starts.

After getting reported to the authorities, the boyfriend got upset with the OP.

She asks the AITA subreddit if her way of handling the situation was wrong.

The OP emphasized that she wants opinions on her boyfriend's reaction.

She explains how their home is set up.

The majority believes that everything is her fault.

A user points out the importance of a leash.

People are also criticizing the boyfriend for his overreaction.

A Redditor thinks it's both their fault and explained what their neighbor must have felt.

We can all agree that the neighbor has every right to report the situation to Animal Control.

She or her dog could've been attacked.

Time to fence the yard if they really want to unleash the dogs.

The rabies shot is always important.

The OP shouldn't wait for the worse to come.

Responsible dog owner's leash their dogs!

It's better to be on the safe side by leashing the dogs.

People have different opinions on the situation.

We can't really fault the neighbor here.

Some users think that only the boyfriend is at fault in this situation

The OP has now learned her lesson. We're pretty sure that she'll leash the dogs every time she lets them out.

People also agree that the boyfriend overreacted. But think about it.

The boyfriend wouldn't act this way if the OP was acting responsibly with the dogs.

Who do you think is wrong in this situation?
