where as cat's poo magic fairy dust.
All dog muck should be cleaned up, regardless of where it is.
Its a sad situation that your dog experienced. A well behaved and normally passive dog turned aggressive by a poorly trained collie (Though collies are known to be aggressive if there is no clear pack structure), through no fault of your own, you now have to make it look like a nasty dog. Its wrong. You should be allowed to let your dog run around and sniff others. Its upsetting when things like this happen.

Well no matter what I or anyone else says, despite how wrong you are, your mind is clearly made up so there is really little point in having any adult discussion.
No, my dog is a Bull Terrier, commonly called an English Bull Terrier (although there isn't such a breed called that).
While everyone will defend their own dogs as much as the next person, I feel that if you want your dog to "cower" by your side then I feel sorry for your dog that it feels a need to cower by your command. Clearly it's living because it's scared of you and doesn't respect you.
As for training, yes each to their own, my agility courses are through Burns (a brand that I know you recommend and respect), so I'm more prone to listen to their own advice as well.
But like I said, if your defences are up against breeds just because they attacked your dog then there is little anyone can do to help.
Ironically I wonder if your dog and attacking dog was off or on the lead, which kinda goes with what I said earlier about having dogs on leashes, meeting for first time, having control, etc, but you wouldn't be prepared to accept that would you?
Now your mixing up what i said and i should have been clearer.
If the dog was well trained then it should recall if attacked or running away.
If the dog was scared, then it should run to you, since you should be seen as the pack leader and the pack leader should defend his pack.
We haven't trained him to cower, damn i wont even train it any tricks. I don't want a circus dog.
I'm not after help or redemption. Just if you put your hand in a fire, you don't do it a 2nd time.
Recently due to the dog attack, me and the missus are trying to figure out the best way to allow our dog the freedom we want to give it. So unfortunately through no fault of there own, we've leaded up our dog when walking passed GSD, bull type dogs (there is 1 english bull dog he plays with and its great fun), dalmations, collies, rotts, dobermans, staffies and a few other breeds i don't know the names of but they live in the village and known to be nasty.
The rule of thumb we follow is, if its an aggressive breed, lead him up, otherwise let him go. And if the other owner leads there dog up, we do the same.
Where going from the experience we have had through training, research and personal experience. Sadly that has limited the range of dogs he can play with, but the village is comprised a lot of farming animals, so you mainly see breeds like the springer spaniel, labradors, collies and other working dogs.

As some kind of primitive land mine?
It was a rehtorical question.
Surely you can see disliking and entire breed of doge because of one or two incedents is silly.

So you expect everyone to avoid walking on grass or kids playing on it
Parents let kids play on the grass? Here's me thinking the only kids outside are chavs.
Do you dislike all Germans/black/jews/gays/whites/bi's/humans in general because of 1 or 2 bad experiences?
Are they dogs?
Why are dog's different to, humans, cats, birds, sheep, cows, your mother, spiders, shrimp, fish, turtles?
