Does the dog park have any rules? Our dog park would not let one person bring 20 dogs into the park. No one can keep an eye on 20 dogs - and not only are you suppose to keep your dog behaving but you are also suppose to pick up after your dog and you would be so busy picking up, you would never have any time to see if the dogs were behaving.
Each person is allowed 3 dogs at the park. If YOUR dog starts misbhaving - and I called repeated mountings of another dog as misbehaving -YOU and YOUR DOG are suppose to leave the park. If another dog is harassing or trying to hurt your dog you can call the park office or sheriff's office. Each dog has to be up-to-date of their shots.
I don't know what option you really have if there is no rules or place to contact when an abuse of the rules is happening. I have seen a little dog get hurt when a couple of big ones would not leave it along. I also have a dog that has hurt some dogs (minorly) - there are some dogs she does not like. Fortunately for me there is a time out pen in the dog park and I can put her in it when there is a dog she does not like. Knock on wood, she has not gone after anyone in a couple of years. For the most part, there were some breeds she did not like and if one came in..... and since I knew this I am (or at least try to be) always at the gate to see how she will react to a dog or even leash her if I was uncertain of her reaction.
When Taggert was a puppy, a certain dog would try humping him every time he saw him - I think it was a dominance thing since they were both males. Since they were there a lot of times we were - I did not hestitate to tell them to make their dog leave Taggert alone.
I also often carry a small squirt bottle of water - I spray my own and others when they won't respond to my suggestions. It works for a lot of dogs but not all. Our dog park has some down periods of day - the only other thing you can do is find out when those might be or especially if the dogs you don't want her near come on a regular schedule.
Good Luck!
