I go to the dog park sometimes up to 3x per week and have luckily never been peed on by any dog. And most of the time it seems like more male dogs are present at the park. Jackson only pees/lifts his leg on the trees and never has lifted on a person, furniture, or any indoors anywhere.

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Despite being in a dog park - whether the dogs were leashed or not - her dog did damage to a persons purse. At the minimum she should apologize and offer to pay for the cleaning. Not to mention the back of the gent's pants ... Now having said that - I don't understand some ppl. Last summer one of the only 2 leashfree parks in Toronto on Lake Ontario where our pups can swim. It has a beach some grass, and trees, benches, water spouts, really really nice park. The east side of the park is for regular people with no dogs, the west is for a leashfree dog park. Well, here we go, I saw two ppl sunning on the beach, they had a cooler, and food on their blanket. I figured that they a) did not have dogs with them and b) were clueless about dog behaviour. They were set up fairly close to the water and of course the inevitable happened, we the owners mostly play fetch with our dogs, well one dog ran by their blanket and shook water off themselves and all over them. They made a face and moved back a bit. So I went over and said to them, not sure if you are new here or not but this area is for dogs off leash to run and play in the water. Just a few hundred yards east is the people without dogs beach. You can relax there and not to worry about having a dog shake water on you, or btw that food is awfully tempting laying out on your blanket for dogs. Well I got a dirty look and said we are Not new here, we assert our rate as taxpayers to use whatever public beach we want. I said oh great, have a great day then, just let me call my Magic boy out of the water... hahahahah Idiots

Yorkie Yakker | What A B***h Henesey's mate lifted his leg and marked the guy I work with shoes and I was mortified and he isnt even my dog! I said sorry a million times and we bought his new boots. Even to this day like 6 months later when it comes up in conversation I turn red and say im sorry. That lady needs to get pee'd on and then she'd know what it feels like!

| Rude I would have DEFINITELY apologized and reprimanded my dog for such a behavior!! I get embarrassed when my dog humps other dogs at the park and I keep him in my lap so he can't do it. I can't understand some people!!!

I definitely think she should have offered at least an apology... I would have offered to have the bag cleaned.

| we took the purse to the restroom immediately and rinsed it off and my son cleaned his had and his person from dog urine. Then we took the purse immediately to the dry cleaners I knew took coach bags. He said he'd take it and it would be ready on Friday. We said ok left the purse with him and Left. Got in the car and thought wait a minute. If today is Monday and the purse won't be ready til Friday when does he clean it? Thursday? no NOT acceptable. We went back got the purse, took it home called Coach Customer service and they told us what to do. Today no smell no stain. Thank God!! Today at the park I was SOOOOOO wanting to see that lady walk by today so I could give her a piece of my mind. Especially after hearing from someone else that this same lady turns people in for having dogs off leash! She had the culprit off leash!!! What the heck???? Needless to say she didn't come by. ( We've been meeting here m-f 2-3pm for over 2 years) so people know what time to avoid us. But when I do............... I am grateful the purse isn't ruined. But in my mind it was ignorant and rude to at least NOT OFFER an apology... at the very least! Thanks everyone for your support and passion! |

| Saw the lady with her 3 dogs (whose one dog peed on my son and his fiance's coach purse on Monday) walk by today. Of course the culprit wasn't on leash like the other two. So as She walked by it was OBVIOUS that she had NO intention of mentioning the incident on Monday. So I said to her, "You know Pat I would have at least expected an apology from you when your dog peed first all over my son and then his girlfriends purse. " she says "what? he peed on them?" Now I'm thinking WTF she had to have seen what happened thats why she had her hand over her mouth I thought. so I said"YES he peed twice! once on my son and once on his fiance's coach purse." she says "I had no idea" I say back "No idea? are you kidding me? you stood there with your hand over your mouth as you watched!" she says in her defense " But I didn't think he actually peed". I said to her "so why do you think they jumped up in disgust? Surely you can't tell me that by their reaction you didn't know what was going on and yet you didn't even as much offer an apology!" She says "Oh tell them I'm sorry." with that she continued her walk and left..... All I can say is I polietly said my peace and let her know my disappointment and disgustment. I'm not a confronter and I had 3 other witnesses with me. I never raised my voice but I didn't back down. It's over and I will not trust that dog when it comes around. Nor will I respect this person. |

That's definitely a "YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING" moment. I hope the rest of your dog meetup group know to keep an eye on their belongings when this lady is around.

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | I have girls BUT if I had a marker - he'd be on a leash if I knew he 'may' go on people.....That woman knew her dog was prone to marking just by the reaction you spoke of. It's simple respect when in public that people take precautions with their pets - even a simple leash in a free roam park vs letting their dogs run anywhere - we all want them to have fun - but not at others expense. That woman had no manners. ps - can't blame the dog - he's doing what dogs do....its the human at fault as usual
