Would it be possible to remind dog owners that their dogs are supposed to be on leashes while on base? A person who I have spoken to once about this problem did not have his dog on a leash. His dog ran across the street to my dog and me, and while doing so, came within a couple of feet of being hit by a car. My concern is not only for the safety of his dog and other dogs, but also for the safety of kids playing and drivers. The drivers could swerve to miss a dog and have a wreck or hit a child or other pedestrian while doing it. I think this is a very serious safety issue that people need to consider.
