Dog Parks Galore

I agree with Eric, dog parks are very beneficial but in order to be so, owners need to be constantly aware of their dogs, especially if they bring more than one. Dog parks should have a rule about bringing more than one dog; two is fine, but can you really control three or more dogs at once? The reason I am so avident about this is because earlier this Spring, my small dog was killed at a dog park. He was ganged up on by three dogs, all owned by the same woman, and so they were going by the pack mentality where not just one dog went after him (which could have been broken up), but all three went after him.

If you bring your dog to a dog park for socialization, just please remember to keep constant supervision. Dogs are dogs, they are more than likely to get in to a scuffle every now and then, but if you are being vigilant it is easy to break it up before it gets out of hand. I just hope that something can be learned from this tragedy.
