I wanted to say that, but I was afraid what the reaction would be. But I completely agree with you on this one. Is it really so hard to read? BIG dog park vs. SMALL dog park? The small dog park exists for a reason - because in the BIG dog park, there are prey-driven dogs such as sighthounds and nordic breeds. Giselle has gone after several small dogs, and, every single time, the owners refused to heed the "Dogs under 30 pounds must go to the small dog park" signs. If I don't bring my greyhound into your small dog park, I expect the same courtesy. It's really that simple.Originally Posted by Denyce
Because of this and many other reasons, I've resorted to going to dog parks at off times and I always muzzle my dogs now. It may not be fair to them, but if there's a problem, it's no longer my problem - it's yours.
If at any point, you feel uncomfortable, just leave. Our local dog park is relatively unknown, so we're usually free of irresponsible owners. However, there are a lot of plain rude dogs who go and who would easily cause a tiff with my dogs. When that happens, we just leave the big dog park and go to the empty small dog park. Ironic, eh?
