get a muzzle on it when out doors!! 
Seriously though, all this crap about bringing back dog licenses... just muzzle them when outside, I want this brought in for all dogs out and about in the UK... any not wearing a muzzle should be taken from their owners.
OT:
Cute.

I honestly think it depends on the temprament of the dog, itself. I can't stand it when owners don't have control of their dog, though.
Sadie's only about 4-5 months old, and we've already got her doing the basics - sit, lay, down, bed, as well as commands that get her to come back to us. Already, we can go out, go to a quiet area (so, few people around, we live in a country area), take her off her leash, and if there's another owner walking past, we can get her to come straight back without any fight. She's still quite playful with other dogs if we don't call her back soon enough, but that's more of an age thing, within a couple of years, she'll be walking straight past other dogs without paying a blind bit of notice.
But, if you can't train dogs, you shouldn't get one. They can destroy your home, your relationships, and can cause injury to unsuspecting guests, or, worse, strangers in the street. I don't know if dog licenses should be the way to go, this is a case where we have to rely on people's judgement... which means we'll never have a perfect solution.
