Maybe there needs to be some notices about unacceptable dog/owner behaviour on the dog park gates. Some selfish people unfortunately can't think of others without being told to!!

Rule #1) when breaking up a dog fight never use your hands …..use your feet and hopefully you have your boots on.

Remember it’s the owners who need training not the dogs!

It’s plain and simple.

If your dog humps or is aggressive don’t bring it to the dog park. We are all sympathetic to the problem that you have with your pup.

If everyone else’s dog is following good behavior not only do we not like that behavior against our dogs but we don’t want our good dogs to learn it. We especially don’t want our dog injured.
Please get professional training of leave that dog at home.
Thank you.

I agree with many, its NOT the dogs, since they do not take themselves to the park, its the Owners responsibility or lack of, not to bring them to mix with other dogs off leash if they have negative behavioral issues. These parks are "use at your own risk" which is why I stay far away. My biggest issue here in TV is the off leash mentality that seems to be present in my area and the lack of consideration by Owners that leave their barking dogs out all day and night, unattended. Perhaps TV needs a "Doggie Orientation" to explain things.....

Hmmm, a “doggie orientation”. And how has that worked with the “good golf school”?

We did have a few lazy owners but they were encouraged not to return.

100% false! Tell that to my dog who had a piece of her ear bitten off at Dudley.

Unfortunately, there are bad dog owners everywhere.

That’s terrible advice. In a dog fight you should make as much noise as possible to break it up and both owners should grab their dogs by their hind legs and lift them off the ground almost like grabbing the handles of a wheelbarrow.

I agree with you. I stopped taking my dog to Dudley due to owners who are clueless about their dogs.

DonnaNi4os 11-05-2021 09:59 AM

Exactly my sentiment

Dog Parks
 
I have an issue with the dog owners who go to the park and park themselves in a chair and socialize with their fur babies in their laps. I think if your taking your dog to the park, it’s for exercise and then have the nerve to tell other people with their pets that they are not wanted there. New puppies want to run and play. It’s their nature. They are not being aggressive just friendly. JMO.

100% true as that dog and owner are no longer at the dog park.

Lots of things have happened in the past, I stated the current situation. Since you have not returned you do not have a picture of the current conditions. We also had an owner who didn't control his older puppy, I could rant about him however he no longer comes to the park so he isn't relevant to current conditions. That is not to say that I don't understand your anger as I do.

If you returned you would see for yourself that I speak the truth.

Except when someone's life is threatened and what to do you do to inspect the grounds for parasites, spoon through all the poop that is lying around the park? Also, just a couple weeks ago a lady's doodle was attacked by a dog in Dudley. There's lots to complain about in all dog parks.
