I took Herman to the dog park by my house when he was a little younger. His little face lit up when he saw all the dogs play. I didn't want him to go in just yet (I think because I thought he was too small/young maybe around 4 months). Anyway, he wanted to go in so badly so I decided to let him, and before he could even get in this wild dog, Bandit, attacked him!
What annoyed me was that the owner told me that she had just gotten Bandit (he was 9 months) and didn't know his behavior .... so why did she bring him to the park of all places?? She couldnt figure out why he attacked Herman like that - and held Bandit on his leash while Herman had a chance to play for a little while.
I noticed that Herman's ear was bleeding and had a scratch or two when I got home.
That following week in puppy kindergarten, one of the puppy parents told me that the trainers there told them they dont use dog parks, just for that reason.
Do you guys allow your bullies to play in dog parks?
