Thanks for all the responses.....I think the most shocking part of the experience was how rude the dog owner was. I have always thought dog people the very best humanity has to offer....I have been a bit spoiled by YT
I understand the issue of having a dog on a leash....but I had only just walked in and wasn't about to let my puppy go until I had summed up the dogs in the run. The Chi made a b-line to Bear...this all went down in the first 2 minutes of arriving
The dog still attacked after I had let him run free. And the owner had assured me he wouldn't.
Oh well, I agree that at a different time, it will be different dogs and people.
I have read many books on dog behavior...guess I need one on dog park etiquette.
It is hard to be cool and let dogs be dogs when you are dealing with a small puppy and much larger small dogs....it never occurred to me that the problem dog would be smaller than Bear
