There is a little swimming pond in the small dog section AMD I come fully prepared to get a little dirty or wet but I've had dogs trample me if I sit on the tree stumps that people sit on, or be all over my legs when I sit on benches. I know dogs will be dogs but in general, most of those dogs are clearly never disciplined and have no.manners.

I would be okay if someone told Luma "down" or "no" as long as they did not physically shove or hit her.

And on that subject, if I see excessive humping I stop it immediately. Luma is of course spayed but I still don't like it because it seems to really bother Luma. The owners never tell their dog to get off of mine so I have to do it.
