I mean, I sort of agree you shouldn't bring your dog to a dog park (or anywhere off leash in public) if he doesn't like kids. And I mean he period-end-of-story doesn't like kids approaching him correctly or making squealy kid noises or running.
If your dog "doesn't like kids" and that means kids who chase them and get in their face and try to take their things and climb on them, then that stupid kid shouldn't be in public.
Yeah. I guess that's what I meant. Not sure if that's what they mean, though.
One woman came to the fence once after I asked her son to leave like this:
Her: "Hey! You! What exactly gives you the right to tell my son to leave the dog park?"
Me: "He was chasing some of the dogs in here and grabbing them and a lot of them don't like that. He could get hurt. Also, the sign says no children under the age of 16 without an adult."
Her: "What do you mean they don't like that? That's dumb. Those rules are dumb."
Me: "Some of the dogs in here don't like being pulled on."
Her: "If they're like that, they shouldn't come here where there are kids. My son sits on our dog and pulls on his ears and he doesn't do anything because he's a good dog... Maybe you should teach your dog how to be good."
My friend: "Ma'am, your son isn't allowed in here without supervision. It's not the dogs that don't have manners, it's him. If he comes back in here I will call park security and you'll dealing with more than angry dog owners. Now leave us alone."
That's the most heated it's ever really got aside from one woman who suggested my friends Husky who likes to chase running children and nip at their elbows should be shot in the head. ): I don't like face-to-face confrontation a lot because I don't really have a middle ground... I go from civil to ghetto in a matter of seconds. Lol. Which is why I am glad I have friends with me who also get vocal with parents and children.
