OK folks... before the flame gets any hotter. ..

Yes it is an issue and yes I continue to train my dog. I am a cyclist and 'get' the need, responsibility thing. It is a work in progress and he is getting better. I don't cop-out to the instinct thing... it is what it is. He's learning.

I have never endangered another cyclist. If he is out of reach I give a very loud warning to the cyclist, which has always been met with understanding and gratitude. There are lots of dogs around that cohabitate with the off road cyclists. The couple of rides I've given were before my dog was even a yr old. The riders were understanding... both were dog owners.

Be that as it may, I appreciate and understand your input.
