My dogs are friendly with other dogs, but they've never really been able to meet dogs outside of my family. We took the pack to the new dog park that opened up in my town just recently today. We kept Benny and Katie on leashes until we were confident that they were getting along with the other dogs that were there. I knew Dino would be fine because he's super submissive, so we just let him romp. We allowed Benny and Katie to be off leash one at a time, because they are dominant and don't really play well together.
From what I observed, people really don't care about making sure their dogs are behaving or seeing if they are getting along with all the other dogs before allowing them to be off leash. They just walk in and release them immediately. I am going to continue bringing Benny and Dino there, but only so that they can learn some good greeting skills.


Anybody else think that dog park are not such a great idea?
