Please be careful if you go to the park. One attack and your dog is at the vet possibly dying. I do not like these parks. Our people take their dogs off leash and chat. Dogs go after other dogs and a fight breaks out. I am telling you, you really take a chance of getting your dog hurt. |
Less of a chance when there is a big dog side and a small dog side. I would watch the other dogs as well as mine and if one was showing signs of body language that could lead to aggression I would remove my dog. My dog does not argue back with dogs if they get rough even just playing she rolls over. When going into situations where there are other dogs you need to not only watch your dog but know the body language of dogs so you can remove your dog from a situation before aggression starts. I also encourage anyone who sees a dog that is very aggressive at the dog park to report it. As far as the getting sick. Callie is protected against most things and if humans stayed in there house all of the time because they could get sick we would have no food, no clothing nothing.
