How do you handle a dog off leash when the owner is with it? Do you say anything to the owner like put your dog on a leash please or just avoid the situation by crossing the road.?

I have been bitten by a dog off leash once and dogs have taken a run at me. In the last few years of my dog's life I had her on a leash all the time as I could not trust her.

Our bylaws state that once your dog is outside of your fenced yard and house it must be on a leash. Makes sense to me but there are those who think they are exempt. What do you do when you are out for a walk, cycling or taking your dog for a walk(hopefully on leash) and you encounter a dog off leash and the owner is with it?
