I know! Grrr, one thing I've noticed about this dog park is that everyone is real cliquish. Is everyone else's park like that? They are constantly talking smack about other people's dogs. It is already getting annoying and I have only been going for a week. I can understand not wanting dog fights. But aside from that, unless you want your dog to play, don't come. Geez!

It seems to me like the custom is that everyone leashes their dogs when a new dog is entering the park. Once they all meet, the leashes come off. Since I'm new to parks, I've just been paying attention to whatever everyone else does and follow their lead. But some people get upset that you take your dog's leash off without their permission. Geez, if the dogs are getting along fine, I'm not going to stand here all day while you get settled in with your dog. No one has specifially complained about me to my face, but with as much smack that I've heard over petty stuff, I am sure someone has gotten mad at me.
