This varies a lot from area to area, but I agree that dogs can be a serious problem. I went hiking in Montana last year, and saw a LOT of dogs on the trails that were not leashed. They were well trained, not aggressive and minded their own business. In contrast, a lot of dog owners near me have zero control of their dogs, and don't seem to understand that they have any responsibility. I have had numerous run ins on the street or in public parks where I end up standing between my kids and an aggressive, unleashed, uncontrolled dog. Its owners call to it pitifully from twenty yards away while it tries to dodge around me to eat one of my kids. I've always dismissed the concealed-carry set as a bunch of LARPers, but man, this shit is out of control.
