So this is just from my limited experience. But your dog is a huge liability now at a dog park... if she hurts and/or kills another dog, she could be taken away from you or quarantined, etc. It just doesn't seem worth the risk. Like I said I do understand shock collars, prong collars, etc, and they have their place somewhere but believe they should only be used by trained professionals and under direct supervision of one. |
I agree with Brit... if you need a shock collar then the dog park is not the place for her. I know I posted a link to a site that I strongly believe in but especially for this situation... please take a look and post... you aren't the first person with these kinds of issues and people have had amazing success....please please please at least try that....
I completely disagree with shock collars too but can understand why you would feel like you had no other choice....
