i can not stand when people act like that. i am happy you gave them the "boogie treatment" maybe next time they go out they will remember it. more people need to speak up. we have neighbors that walk their golden retreiver like that in the neighborhood they carry a leash but only leash the dog if they see me and Peanut. that dumb dog has attacked a few dogs in the neighborhood but they still won't leash to make it worse the leash they do carry is a flexi so i just don't understand why they don't at least use it.
