Jean agree, Andrea and I have experienced similar situations there recently.
One problem is that the dogs on leash signs which used to be at either end have been ripped off and thrown away.
The same situation pertains to the Molonglo woodland track where we have met dogs on or off the leash. We have replaced the pulled down NO DOGS signs many times, but at the last visit they seemed
to have been taken or thrown away.
Like some other current situations some people think no rules should ever apply to them and they can just do as they please.

This morning after rain, no doubt dog owners are desperate to get their big dogs out of the house and running wild on Narrabundah Hill!
Why would one or two people need 3 Retrievers, or one woman need three unruly large mutts? None of these dogs were on leads. None of these dogs were on fire trails but roaming at will away from their owners, although not totally out of control. I had to
shout at the woman with the 3 mutts to keep her dogs away from me (one of these dogs had run up to me and barked loudly at very close range). With the other group I had to shout to the owners to keep their dogs away from me (this was on the second encounter
with this group of three dogs).
Narrabundah Hill appears to have become the place to bring your dogs to allow them free range. It has become a popular place every day, and especially during the Covid experience.
As far I could see, kangaroos had already vacated the reserve, but White-winged Chough and Magpies were scattered.
Is it the law to have dogs on a leash when out?
