FLATTOP MOUNTAIN ROADS AND Off-Leash DOGS

It is an unfortunate state of affairs when you can’t even drive down the road. Of course, I’m not talking about the time a certain someone put two huge speed bumps in on Flattop Mountain Rd in front of their Flattop Cabin lol. What a nutty thing to do, but that is a part of Flattop history.

I am talking about poorly educated dog owners. The Recall command is one of the most straightforward commands to issue; your dog should not chase cars down the road or run in front of vehicles. Unfortunately, the dog’s owner only reinforces this type of “allowed” behavior. If you off-leash your dog, teach it properly.

Nobody should risk crashing their vehicle due to your dog. Our roads have soft shoulders and hidden boulders just off the sides of the roads. We risk hitting these ditches, boulders, and shrubbery (scratches to paint) to avoid your dogs because you cannot teach a simple command.

This situation falls 100% on the owner and not the dog. I and others from this point WILL NOT move out the way of your dogs.

I LOVE dogs, so this saddens me. Unfortunately, with the future uptick in traffic, we know this will eventually be an issue.
