Not really: dogs off leads means more interaction between owners.
Edit: and more than just interaction between owners. The number of times dogs off leads have bounded up to me when I’m out walking with nephews and started licking them etc. One of my nephews is pretty scared of dogs (and even if he wasn’t he should be able to decide whether or not he wants someone else’s dog to rub his face on him). All of this leads to more social interaction (way more than solo cycling tbf) so it’s certainly logical to ban dogs off leads.
