I took Prue to the dog park today. Every time I visit it's different. Today was odd and the dogs were not friendly. I had to correct a few dogs while their owners were standing there like dumb bunnies. I make Prue behave herself when she is dealing with other dogs. I don't allow her to gang up on any one dog - something that happens from time to time in any dog park. I don't want to see anyone get hurt, so I try to make them chill out before the event ends up being ugly.
It was so bad today, that Prue kept trying to get me to pick her up.... to get away from the mean doggies. I don't understand why people think it's ok for their dog to bite the crap out of another dog. I am not talking about playing roughly, I am talking about biting and growling like they mean it.
Prue is not the only dog that gets picked on .... but is often the one that the puppies play with, since she is still puppy like and likes to play like one!!!! She is usually sweet with the puppies too.
I have had some good visits to the park too, when people take care of watching their dogs and make sure they behave nicely.
Don't get me started on the people who bring the children to the park, and let them roam too!
