Big Dogs Scare You? Really???
Quote:
I never knew that living near a dog park was a problem. Hmmmm. Living near a Walmart is probably a lot worse!

Try the dog park on Huey Street just west of Powell Road. It's very shaded, has benches and water is available.

There is someone with 2 "white goldens" (apparently some European breed) and those dogs can be a problem and I won't go anywhere near them. As is typical, the owner is the problem. We're in NH for a couple of months and every morning at 8:45, my dog is looking at me, like ... "hey dude, are we going to that park thing today?" He'll be thrilled to get back to TV, the Dog Parks and all his friends. |

Where is the list of "yards for rent" for dogs?
I have a very large fenced yard. |

A lot of folks (and dogs) in Villages are new to dog parks and theor dynamics. Gates are a tough space for confrontation, but "bench" is BS. If you dog is hurt /persistenly harrassed by an aggressive dog the other dog's owner is prob not going to figure out a solution - tho some will take the walk of shame. Otherwise, you can move to another park, work out a schedule with the aggressive dog's owner to avoid contact, (in Villages) file a complaint with the rec center responsible for the park or dial 911.

It is very well run but does have the occasional scuffles between dogs as well as their owners. |

Without exception, at every dog park I've been at, 1000's of times ... if other dogs see a new dog coming through the gate, they all run over to "greet" the new dog. A new dog is invading their space and they have to bark in acknowledgement and do some sniffing. It's not much different, than everyone at a party, turning around to see who the new arrival is, as they come through the door. Unfortunately, dogs aren't capable of saying: "Hi, thanks for stopping by". Dogs bark and sniff. |

Everyone Feels Their Dog/Child Can Do No Wrong Today
Quote:
In a perfect world, people would be considerate and use common sense and take responsibility for their actions. We don't live in one. Even our pools are used by those that shouldn't. Perhaps, walking through the neighborhood or driving elsewhere is a good idea. |

A lot of poop-oners don't like "Dog Parks"; the reason the Post Office mailbox areas have been taken over with mutts...

Scary Thought
Will there ever be a time where mace is replaced by the new law backed “I’m always packing and it’s loaded” people in dog parks. Maybe it will just be a Florida thing?

Sounds like a great idea, a kind idea, even a civil idea, but surely you've noticed that is (usually) not practiced here. Every morning, every night, dog owners will walk 2, 3, even 4 blocks from their OWN grass to keep their dog from "depositing" at their house. It will never stop. Don't hate dogs, have had quite a few, but never met owners like so many (not all of course) who live here. Never lived in such a neighborhood anywhere that people take their dogs to other people's lawns to "go"... was shocked at first... LOL...not any more ! And then the folks who do pick it up in little see thru bags, and you think "how respectful", until you see them toss it behind the pretty landscape entrance to a villa area, or at a rec center's entrance landscaping, and then my hope for the human race goes right down the sewer ! Some deposit it in the villages waste reciprocals on hot days so they don't have to live with it at home. People ! They come in all varieties ! Kind to clueless... LOL !
