Wow! This thread has really started something.

I think you are doing just fine at the dog park, Tonya. If that one lady's dog continues to be a problem and she talks to you about it than you should just be honest and tell her that you think her dog is the one with the problem. Maybe even some other dog owners could try to talk to her.

As for dog parks, I love dog parks! I wish we had one close by. We are checking in to one that is about an hour away. It is acutally filled up right now and we have to be on a waiting list. Sounds like they have very strict rules, which I like. I don't know if dog parks are good or bad. All I know is that I absolutely love to watch Katie run free and to see her interact with other dogs. She seems to truly love it and I love it because I get to see lots of dogs! Yes, anything can happen at any time. I have learned that I have to watch Katie at all times and make sure that I am ready to step in if something does happen. I have only been to a dog park twice and that was the Findlay Pet Talk get togethers and of course everyone there is great and helpful.
