I know my own dog - you don't. If another owner asks you to keep your dog away don't dismiss them. [/rant]

Completely Agree, Trev. It's sad you can't utilise what you have on your doorstep due to no fault of your own.
Have you considered getting one of those leads that have a warning to say your Dog is not Dog Friendly? It may help those who are less intelligent so see it beforehand.
