I have seen others mention problems with aggression etc. at dog parks and I thought I would add something here.
We have two chihuahuas they are usually very friendly but they do become frightened in a situation with several dogs, especially since most are a lot larger than them.
Our park has two areas for dogs, one for medium and large dogs and one for small dogs. Everytime we have gone there, someone will have their very large dog in the small dog area. I asked one man why and he said that his rottie was very aggressive with other dogs so he likes to put him where he won't get hurt.
Now, we never put our dogs in unleashed areas. We just walk around the rest of the park with leashes on and our cute little plastic bags for you know what. My first responsibility is to keep these dogs out of harms way and these places are just too dangerous for the little guys.
