That's a shame. I think the dog park is a wonderful thing. Jackson has an absolute blast and I can't imagine life without it, he would be so bored on the weekends. I guess I'm just lucky we have a really good dog park with mostly good people!
Water is always refilled, people leave poop bags for other people to use in a little basket, dogs are always corrected when doing something wrong. Jackson is a highly doggy dog and enjoys the company of other dogs greatly, it's awesome for their socialization. I can't imagine confining him to our own backyard all the time.
