I was taught the same thing, and I agree that it's a good policy in general (i.e. asking the owner if it's okay before petting the dog). It certainly beats what some of the kids in our neighborhood do (throw grass).
The general attitude toward dogs in the Orthodox community (which is, indeed, "dogs not nice!") pisses me off, though. I admit it's a big sore point for me.
