I think I'm going to try her one more time on Saturday afternoon - minus Ringo. We end up only staying for 15 minutes or so because she spots Ringo on across the fence and then she just wants to go to him.
If it's not too crowded on Saturday - we'll give it one more shot. I do think she would like it a lot better with small dogs. Maybe I'll try and find a yorkie meet-up; not sure how to do that though.
She's just scared though; she wants to turn around and head home the minute she sees where we are walking!
There was a cute little Westie there too! Only four months old. I tried to get her to play with him but he was VERY BUSY playing with everyone!
I guess maybe it is scary when you are only 5 lbs and everyone is so much bigger than you.
Can't wait to see Jackson in action when I get home!!! |
I agree - I think I would try it at a time when it's less crowded.
Actually the very first time I took Jackson to a dog park was for a mini YT meet up we had (it was Bo/Mom to Hot Rod, Lauren/Banditsocks2 and a few others). He just took right to it, lol. He was around... 6 months old? I think. Wow, crazy to think that was that long ago! But he just walked right in and immediately found a dog to play with. But he's always been like that. He's really in his element around other dogs. He has slowed down a bit actually, now that he's almost 3, he definitely not does run as much as he used to (but still enjoys to). But maybe the fact that he's been going since he was so young made an impact? I'm not sure what he would be like if I had just started taking him, at 2 1/2. I think it would definitely take more time.
^this was another older video I complied, hehe... I think some of the clips were from his first visit... I think...
There have been a few Saturdays when I went in the past where it was just WAY too many dogs. Like honestly probably about 30-40 this one day I went and it was just... too much. Even for Jackson!
