Dog Parks - Let's be fair
Is it fair that tiny Rusty charges big Rocky, and everyone is picking up and cuddling little Rusty?
No, Rocky is not bad because he met the charge. The one who should be corrected is Rusty.
Fights break out in dog parks for many reasons.
1. The dogs are not exercised before they come to the park, so they have pent up anxiety and frustration. That is not a good thing to bring into a group of dogs.
2. Owners are watching each other, not their dogs.
3. Dogs are not corrected for bad behavior.
4. After a fight, the trauma is not removed.
