I remember standing at ringside waiting to show my dog, when another exhibitors dog kept lunging at my dog. I moved away enough to be out of reach, but the owner kept letting the dog come after mine. I finally wacked it across the nose with my leash. Of course the owner was ticked off, well I told her if she kept her dog under control things wouldn't happen, and if she didn't cool it, I would put in a formal complaint to the dog show committee. That seemed to end the problem. Some people are too stupid to own dogs.
