It's a speed thing , the faster it goes the more fun it is to chase , slow down or stop and you are boring and don't get chased , usually it's just a big game to most pooches and the barking and carrying on is excited fun (but there's always the exception ). We are our own worst enemies for tearing round the woods , see a dog, slow down and say hello to it , forget about strava and usually the dog will be happy , you get to smile and the owner probably gets a better picture of cyclists .
At the end of the day how important is to to get from one end of the woods to the other pissing every other user off on the way or is that just me being a tolerant considerate old fart , yes go silly when no one in front of you but don't turn into a helmeted version of the bobble hat brigade on the hills thinking you have the right to do what you want and f..k everyone else , we supposedly ride for fun not to start an argument (though with a lot of people on foot both with and without dogs that's impossible).
Rant over from old idiot cyclist with mad dogs
