Hello,
I have a 6mo old unaltered Great Dane female. She is a timid dog, but enjoys going to the dog park to run and play with other dogs. However, on the last two visits to the dog parks she has been bullied by other dogs.
On one visit, a professional dog walker had a pack of 20 dogs in the park. One of the dogs in the pack tried to mount my female. She struggled to get him off and then ran away and three or four dogs from the pack chased after her, barking, growling, and attempting to knock her down. The dog walker broke things up any she wasn't hurt.
On the next visit, one man's two pitbulls ganged up on my female. They repeatedly chased her and knocked her to the grown and then it looked like one of the pitbulls was attempting to mount her while she was on the ground. I tried to break them up, but the pitbulls kept coming back and their owner just shrugged and said "this always happens", so I left the park.
My questions are. Is this acceptable behavior at a dog park? What should I do in these situations?
Thanks,
James
