It would be of benefit to those so quick to jump to negativity to remember that the dogs are all off leash and if one dog shows aggression to a human anywhere in the park that dog must go to the DDRR "special dog run" or out of the park. A dog's concept of 'territory' is very elastic, and no one's enjoyment of the DDRR should be curtailed by one errant off leash animal.

DDRR is a great and well policed place. It makes me wonder how many posters have visited it.
Joe -- one of the DDRR employees-- was showing a new customer the ropes while I was going out. I thought I would not disturb them with my complaint about Harlow just then. And I did hope that Jade's owner would help out with getting through to Harlow's owner about the dog's aggression towards me. I was just walking around the dog park and did try to pet Harlow but my hand never got more than a foot from Harlow because Harlow started to bark when I put my hand out. The third loop is when I had the serious problem and thought that Harlow might attack me.
