--001a11401f20beba640530758803 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 April 13, 2016 Conrad Beach Warden please note: The new boardwalk at Conrad Beach in Lawrencetown is complete and accessible now. They did a really good job of it and it looks robust enough that no puny hurricane will knock this one over! Unfortunately, the dogs off leash are still a significant problem on this beach. This morning there were no fewer that 6 running loose at the same time. While four of the dogs where generally behaving and staying close to their two handlers, the other two dogs where totally out of control by their handler. One jumped me by surprise from the side and then the other one jumped me at shoulder height from behind and almost knocked me off my feet - handler says sorry but did not leash the dog when requested! If I had been frail or a child, there was significant potential for injury. If the off leash dogs cannot be controlled on this beach, I would suggest that the Piping Plover information sign might as well be removed as I do not believe any piping plover could survive the constant onslaught of off leash dogs, especially those that cannot be controlled by their handler, like happened this morning.
