I live in Germany. Our park has a daily meet up of dog owners letting their dogs roam.

The rule says they should be on the leash.

Nobody follows it.

Your anecdote is stronger than my anecdote :)

  • yea, I'm afraid I'm not adding much to the discussion. In the end, it doesn't matter if Germany really is like this - the idea of an orderly country still exists.

    • I beg to differ, counterpoints are always useful. I have an outsiders view of Germany. I've seen large chunks of it. Even stopped for a month or two (Munich, Berlin). But I don't speak German, or at least not enough to be useful (Mein Deutsch ist nicht gut). I visit a park once or twice, not with a group that you get to know.

      My lack of German may well have changed the interaction I mentioned.
