>The dog sprinted towards me, barking its head off, scaring the everliving shit out of me, and I barely escaped by jumping out of the lead’s length radius at the last minute. I still have nightmares about it to this day.

Nightmares about a dog on a leash running towards you? This whole post seems like a rant of someone who simply had a bad experience with dogs.

We have an office dog and obviously you can only do it with well trained and well behaving dogs.
