I have had nothing but pleasant experience at the 2 local dog parks. The people are mostly very nice and are aware of their dogs behavior and size. Yes, some dogs get into a little "rumble" but the owners are quick to intervene and usually the aggressive dog leaves.
Both parks I go to have separate areas for the little guys. The largest dog I've seen with the little ones are Bassetts or large breed puppies. I did see a golden with the little guys once but she was very old and just seemed to enjoy the attention for the little tykes.
With any type of park, it's the people who makes the difference. For owners to curse at each other is not acceptable and I hope to never witness it.
I hope your parks situation changes. Hopefully it's just a novelty right now and many of the rude people will not be returning. I would go back in a month or so and check it out. The change in the atmosphere may be a pleasant surprise for you. |
