I would put all my effort into training my dog on how to deal with dogs/owners that do this and try not to worry about people that don't leash their dogs.
The reason being is simple...in a perfect world everyone would leash their dog in areas where confrontation is possible.
Sooo...basically, you will run into people that don't leash their dogs. Sucks...but what else can you do besides pushing for stricter laws, and we all know how that works out.
I'm on our homeowner's association board and have really pushed for reminders to people in newsletters that go out to the homeowners to keep dogs leashed, but it still is a problem considering fences are not allowed.
