Remember you are your dog's best advocate! Not all dogs do well at dog parks.
I have a leash reactive dog. As a puppy he was attacked on leash a few times. Now when on leash he will bark aggressively (out of fear), if he doesn't know the other dog. Unfortunately, it is very reinforcing- he feels the barking makes the other dog go away.
We need to see a new dog a few times before we approach. We will cross to the other side of the road to gain distance from a dog we don't know. The way we have worked on this- first from a distance where he is not reactive, we give a command "see it" and he looks at the dog and then turns back to us and gets a treat. We repeat this sequence until the other dog has moved on. This helps our dog know that he will not be forced to greet a dog when he doesn't feel comfortable. We will repeat this a few different times or days of seeing the new dog. Then when he feels calm and seems ready, my walking partner will approach the new dog, maybe pet it and remain talking to the owner. At that point our dog will approach and is fine. From then on, whenever we see that dog, our dog will be calm and happy to greet his new friend!
"Controlled unleashed" by Leslie McDevitt is a fantastic very positive training book. It is worth reading. It teaches you have to listen and work with your dog!
Good luck with your dog. Remember, just like people, your dog is not necessarily going to like every dog it meets.
