[Sookie]

I took Kalina to our dog park 2x and both times it was miserable for her. She sat between my legs and her eyes were just begging me to pick her up and get her the heck out of there. She is usually very sociable and even plays with our next-door Boxer, but this was horrible.

I have found that a lot of the people at dog parks also think that there is no need to discipline their dogs. One dog insisted on humping Kalina the entire time and its owner, a doctor, sat on a bench on her cell phone the entire time and ignored her dog. One little dog there was attacked and bitten by a min-pin just as I arrived and the owner said "He's just showing a natural dominance, it doesn't mean anything".

My experience was so bad that I won't subject her to that place again. I would love to have a small, informal meet-up with other Yorkies though.

Hope your experiences are better.
