I keep noticing those who sit at dog parks tend to have the most misbehaved dogs (lemmy.ca)

Sounds bad to be so judgemental, but day after day at the park, the most misbehaved dogs tend to be owned by those who sit at dog parks and chat, smoke, bring random lawn chairs etc..

The breeds of dog also tend to be the same, 'pitbullish' style or cane Corso, or those dogs so small and yappy.

It's somewhat frustrating. If I see more then 1 or 2 people sitting, I know there is most likely going to be some altercation between dogs and there usually is..

Is it the same in your area?

I'd also say, dog parks that are big, not fenced off and near a road are the better dog parks because these naturally filter out dogs with poor recall and likely poor training and socialisation lest they get hit by a car or run away. If someone's dog is so out of control they get into trouble, eventually they stop coming there.

It's the small fenced in parks one should avoid.

Actually...this is a good point I never clicked in on before. Thanks.

My husky has amazing recall, she just have a very wide radius that she keeps around me. A good 20-30foot or so. Always comes back when I call. I trained her recall to be a physical touch instead of the usual, come where I can see you. Has its downsides as she says hello by touching human hands and people tend to pull away from a dog mouth..my bad :(

I'll have to visit our non fenced dog parks more often, thanks again

All about dogs - dog breeds, dog training and behavior, news affecting dog owners or handlers, puppy pics, etc.

Rules (Will be refined later on).

  1. Don't be a dick. This should cover most things, just keep in mind that everyone started somewhere and try to be helpful rather than rude or judgmental.

  2. No personal attacks based on training style or tools.
    Discussion of balanced training including proper use of aversives is allowed here.

  3. All breeds and mixes are welcome. You can criticize backyard breeding practices but don't pile on people because they own a specific breed or prefer purebreds or mixed breeds.

  4. Do not support backyard breeders or puppy mills. Please do not link to or suggest buying from high volume breeders or those with an obvious lack of standards and testing.

  5. Do not help or support fake service animals. Please do not encourage people to buy fake service dog vest or ESA letters to get around rental or other restrictions & do not give advice on how to misrepresent a dog as a service or support animal.
