What a dilemma. Call the animal police to advise them of the dogs? I don't like the animal police but understand dogs running loose can be dangerous.
Are there specific times when these dogs are around or is it all the time?
I wish I could offer better advice.

The dogs seem to walk the school kids to the bus stop, which is one house down from me.
Maybe if I give it a little time after the bus picks the kids up? Then the dogs will have walked home.
I don't think the dogs are bad. Maybe I'm even a little unsure if my dog might charge them. I have a nice walking stick I could carry, but would people think I might hit their dog?
People have called the dog police on me, because my dog was walking to the bus stop! what a double standard.
But that's the difference with having a "fierce" breed or a weiner dog.
I will experiment over the weekend. My car is in my fenced front yard. Mickey, my dog, stays behind the fence too. But she needs more socialization.

Alternatively... and perhaps less stressful... you wouldn't be the first person to put the dog in the car and drive to the park!

Some dogs do enjoy car rides. Several people in our area drive to our little strip of a park and walk their dogs. We also have 'dog parks' where the dogs can romp and sniff and bark and the other things dogs doodoo...lol
Good luck with dog walking.

In most places it is unlawful to allow pets to run loose, off a leash, or outside a fence, so if you have that problem you should talk to the owners of the pets or report them to the proper authorities. Or you could try to find a time in the day when not many pets are out and about.

This is my first dog in years that can escape the fence.
I have secured it now, after speaking to the officer months ago. I just wish they could have felt comfortable enough to speak to me about it.
On our last vet visit I noticed Mickey was more skittish than I like my dogs to be. I could do some preliminary training in my yard first. She does ride well in the car, loading up was a problem.
I'm only good for about 20 minutes, it's ben a long, hot, confined summer. We both ned to shed a few pounds. Mickey is at 55, I'm not telling mine---my user name is not a hint!
Thanks for the suggestions, I'll report back.

It went pretty well today at least. I waited until about 10:ooam my time.
One or two random dogs, but no roaming packs. If we get a couple days of peaceful walks. maybe that will be what she expects.
It seems the most dogs out on a non-school day were out just at daylight.
