If she thought her puppies were intimidated in the big dog side, what did she think those small dogs felt. The mature dogs on the big dog side know puppies and will be gentle with them, but the big puppies on the little dog side are clueless as to their size, they are just babies and want to play. It was an irresponsible thing to do. | |

| I wish she had just realized that she has a puppy, a huge one at that, and she needs to be prepared when he plays rough for an older dog to react. It will happen, grown dogs WILL put him in his place. In the end I think she should be happy a little Yorkie bit his ear, rather than a big dog and not be so angry, it kinda ruined our whole trip when it didn't have to

| I would be very upset that someone would bring their big dog, even if it is a puppy onto the little dog's side of the fence. i think that she should of had her dog on a leash and watch him carefully and if her dog got bit because he provoked or scared your dog then it's her fault cuz her dog is on the smaller side of the fence and scared your lil puppy. if we brought our lil dog onto the big dogs side and the big dog bit our dog, they'd still get mad cuz they would say that we should keep our dog on the small side....we'd be upset if our dog got bit, but it'll also be our fault for not watching him better. as a yt mommy, i can't even imagine, letting my boy play around with strange dogs unless i'm holding his leash and ready to grab him out of harms way. even if i had a big dog i'd do the same thing because we are mommy and daddy's and we're suppose to protect our lil ones... did that all make sense at all or did i just bibble babble through that? LOL |

| I think you were right It sounds to me like she wanted her dogs to play and have a good time, which is fine, but she needed to really control them better. A small dog can really be hurt by a big dog and she should know that. She should have asked you if it was okay if her dogs played with your tiny ones. Once hers were getting too rowdy, she should have had the common sense to remove them. Then all of the dogs would have gotten to know each other for a short time and everyone would have gained from the experience. It's certainly not your fault! Judy |

| There is a private dog park near us and it has three areas. The big dog park, the small dog part and then the puppy playground. Big dog puppies are not small dogs and can be dangerous to small dogs. While I am not condoning the snip - the lady was asking for trouble entering the small dog area with a puppy and did I read that right.... a GD puppy? Most GD's are as gentle as can be when they are full grown but they are a little clumsy as pups. I'm sorry you had this experience. J |

| I don't go to dog parks period! Dollie runs in her own back yard, that God. I hold her when other dogs are around REGARDLESS. I don't know why, but Dollie just doesn't care for other dogs. Go figure! Yes, I am very, very, protective of her and when she turns her head into me, she is telliing me she isn't interested. When we lived in Arizona there was a big and I mean big WHITE GERMAN SHEP. that lived down the street. When Dollie was first introduced it was love at first sight. She would get so excited to see Sadie and Sadie just loved Dollie. She would let Dollie run all over her. Needless to say, Sadie's owner - Cathy was a wonderful gal and I miss her dearly. Back to this, as I said this is the one and only dog that Dollie has or wanted to have anything to do with. It isn't that I haven't tried to socialize her. She just isn't interested and my first, very first concern is her safety .....If she is this way I would never push her. And as far as that gal goes in the dog park, forget it! Just take care of your baby!

| My husband had Chico at the dog park, but the big dog side was closed while they raked or something (bad planning for a weekend!) so all the big dogs were in the small dog area. So Chico rolls over and shows his belly like he always does when other dogs smell him, but then he got up and hid behind my husband on the bench. Anyway, a dog trainer guy that was there told my husband that Chico was overwhelmed by so many BIG dogs smelling him that he sort of shut down. So you are right to be upset that the big dogs were there - dog parks are supposed to fun, not scary! |

| I often wondered about the doggie parks - I'm sure that they are a good idea, but you never know what you will run into there. I would ignore it and move on. I hope your next experience is better! Poor Tripp!

I'd be fighting for my life too if a giant, that was 10x bigger than me, came over "to play." Now when a big dog comes our way I just pick them up and don't chance it. The other owner will usually tell me their dog is harmless and I just tell them that because of their dog - it's mine that's aggressive. Seems to work. Next time when stupid people bring their big dogs in the small dog area - just leave. It's hard to argue with an idiot!

| That's where the doggie stroller comes in handy! It let's your little ones be a little more "nose to nose" with the bigger dogs and also safe inside the stroller it it's zipped up. I use it when we're walking in a crowd - it's great!
