Most people love the idea of pet dog parks -dogs playing together in harmony, and running through limitless fields of lush foliage. but then again often that’s not exactly how it works. lots of times our family pets become the brunt of a pet dog bully, or even worse our pet dog acts like the bully. While it’s easy to turn a blind eye and just let dogs play, it’s crucial to keep other pet parents in mind when we take our pups to the park.
Be a Mindful Pet Parent
Many pet parents will tell you that they can’t stand it when a pet parent pays no attention to their pooch. This allows for pet dog fights to happen easily. just like humans, dogs won’t get along with “everyone” they meet, as a result you need to make sure your pet dog is treating others well. If you see some aggression and your pet dog is involved take him or her out of the situation immediately. It’s also good etiquette to apologize to the other pet parent. The bottom line is, don’t be oblivious to what’s going on with your pet.
Don’t Scold other Peoples’ Pets
When you see someone else’s pet dog acting up it may be a basic instinct to scold that dog. However, you shouldn’t try to reprimand anyone’s pet dog but your own. lots of pet parents take infraction to other people yelling or alerting their pet. Calmly walk over to the other pet parent and let them know their pet isn’t playing by the rules. Pet parents will react better if you speak to them and not Fido.
Leave the attitude at Home
We all want our pet dog to have other pet dog pals and have a terrific time at the park, but the fact is, some dogs just can’t play great with each other. dominant dogs like to be in control of others, and if your pet dog is dominant and he or she meets another dominant dog, then lots of times there will be an issue. That’s why you need to always keep an eye on your pet, and if need be, keep him or her on a leash for a while. If your pet is still having issues after the first couple of visits, it might be a good idea to play elsewhere.
Truth be told, not all dogs are cut out for the pet dog park. If we do go to the pet dog park, just remember it’s our job as pet dog parents to make sure our playful pooch is behaving. If we listen to others at the pet dog park, pay attention to our dogs, and communicate well with other pet parents, definitely a good time will be had by all.
