I'm not anymore however and know what to look for when a dog is heading my way. If the dog is kinda galloping and/or wagging his tail he is coming to greet you or ask for pets. If he's charging head on tail lowered, ears back, et cetera he wants a price of you. People who don't know anything about dogs are ignorant of this and will get on you for not having a collar etc. However I believe it is LAW to have a collar outside of the house. however if you're really concerned get a training collar or a harness.
I am unaware of any law to require a collar on the dog outside of the house. Where do you live? This could be a local law.
Most dogs will at most bark at me and do nothing else. A few dogs pretend to charge at me but they'd run away on their own as they get close. There were dogs following me in a manner they were closing in on me quickly from behind, but if I stop or turn around, they ran away. I must be more scary than I thought.
