Bad Dog Park Etiquette

Not have taken her there. You obviously do not trust, nor seem to like anybody else's dog, only your own. So why bother? A 'large' dog could have easily jumped and snapped at her even on the table.. Seems to me you would fit under the paranoid category... Kinda reminds me of stacey and clinton from what not to wear.. look out, the fashion police are coming.
yeah me either, that and my dogs are small, I may have to find som'thing else to use. I have seen dogs do it with milkbone biscuits, but thats not as impressive LOL
how do you pronouce that name?

I do have a package of good sausages in the feezer, but they're too good to allow for mistakes xD
His name is prononuced... GAV-rawsh (the A in GAV is like the A in GAY, and the A in rawsh sounds like the A in raw)
OR you can say it all French-like like this" Les Misérables - About The Show - Pronunciation (scroll down to Gavroche" and press play) but I never was able to actually sound French :rofl1:
OR YouTube - [Les Miserables] 10th anniversary - Look Down at 0:27 (Thisi s probably your best bet
)
We once took Kenai to the dog park, where a Boston Terrier's owner continously talked about Wal-Mart to me and let his little dog hump Kenai's leg. The little thing refused to let go; he jumped even while Kenai ran!
I hate the know it alls. You need to do this, you need to do that. The last time I dealt with a woman like that a dog park, I told her to shut the hell up.
Then there's the people who thinks it's perfectly fine to bring their dominant, intact 200 pound Mastiff in, and let it attack every dog that enters without acknowledging the behavior. Not only that, but allowing the other dog owners to leave with their dogs, and letting his Mastiff continue to run around snapping.

Wow just read through this. There are two dog parks near me. One has concrete "benches" that people and dogs sit on, but the other does have a big, plastic picnic table. I have let Zoe get on it, but it honestly never occurred to me not to let her. No, I would never let her on our table, or at a picnic table in a park where people eat, but since it's a dog park----well, it never occurred to me someone might sit on down and eat lunch. Food in a dog park is generally a bad idea anyway, right?
My local dog park is pretty low key. We dont have any rangers and it does nor really have any rules. Just pick up after your dog ect.. The only problem that I have come across was when a pitbull was there. I have nothing against Pits, but I think a responisible pit owner should not be bringing their dog to a DP. Anyways I left right away.
That's a pretty good observation babymomma.
Daisy wouldn't even have to jump, she'd have to lean down and snap up the little dog like a Scooby snack. We have a round bar/cocktail table that is real tall and has high stools- taller than a kitchen counter. She can reach that one without jumping up.
I totally missed the hand sanitizer comment. No, I don't carry it around with me but I do wash my hands after using the bathroom and before and after I handle food.

Wow--apparently there are some who need a shot or two before heading to the dog park. They're dogs. Loose in a park. Stuff happens. I look at going to the dog park like I do going to the barn...When I go I wear my muck boots and clothes I don't mind getting dirty, as I fully expect that I might step in poop, step in mud, get jumped on, get slobbered on, etc.
We have picnic benches, and I guess dogs jump on them, but honestly I can't imagine finding that offensive. I don't allow Jack to jump on the tables (although he really hasn't tried) because I really don't want him to hurt himself jumping off. As far as I'm concerned nobody should be eating at those tables. It's a dog park, not a picnic area--if they get dog hair, poo, etc on their food because they insist on eating off a dog park table, tough titties.
Honestly, the only thing I really worry about is safety issues. As long as everyone does their best to make sure that the dogs (and people) go home in one piece I'm cool....

Like Scooter I never really though about dogs jumping onto benches and picnic tables. Teagan does it. although I immediantly tell her down and she jumps down but No ones complains. The way I see it is that it is a DOG PARK not a PEOPLE PARK!
I have seen intact males running around at the DP, but never had a problem with them or seen a problem with them. I am pretty easy going and I dont start a problem that does not need to be started. And I think if there was a really big issue someones else will complain. Although I do get a little irritated when peoplpe dont pick up after their dogs and they seen it happen.

sounds like the peach from here moved to washington my friend's coonhound was on a leash and got attacked by this guy however, the guy then left with the dog like his ass was on fire, and when we confronted him and asked him not to bring that dog back, he said "well you can't prove my dog did anything!" um, yea - a park full of people just saw him flip out on two other dogs that weren't even NEAR him (he had to BOOK it about 70 yards to my friends dog, and then he attacked the lab that had followed him, thinking they were frolicking...), bloody them, and then you wrestle him to the ground.
