What is wrong with some dog owner's at the dog park...they allow their dogs to torment mine by mounting and

Question

biting her when it is obvious she does not like their attention? My 8-month old Golden Retriever hates it She is spayed so I know it's not her fault. She tries to get away. I end up having to push the other dogs off of her but they keep coming back at her. Shouldn't the other dogs' owners be the ones to stop it? I had to give her a bath when we got home because one of the dogs had some sort of gray mud all over his legs..

Answer 1

Some dog owners do not really acquire their pets out of a love for animals- to them it is more likely an extension of their ego and the use of power over others. Most dogs can be trained to avoid such behavior.

The owner of the other dog has no business letting "nature" take its course - after all, these are not wild animals we are talking about. Wouldn't it be absurd if you went to a fish/aquarium supply, got some fish for your aquarium and then someone with some piranha walked by and dumped them in with your fish before you could get them home? That, too would be "nature taking its course".

Perhaps you could document the trouble you went to over this and sue in small claims court?

Answer 2

Dog parks are typically areas that allow dogs to be off leash and act like dogs. Trying to impose human ideas of what is right or dirty is silly if you are going to go to this kind of park. Most dogs will get along with each other with no more than a snap or a growl. Oftentimes, the human getting involved just makes things worse. Your dog will be more aggressive be more aggressive because it thinks it is trying to protect you ( the same thing will happen if you keep it on the leash). Now, admittedly, some people are idiots and will bring aggressive and unfixed dogs to a dog park and let them run free. The people who bring dogs to a dog park and expect them to not act like dogs are just as bad though. If your dog has not been socialized to be able to interact with other dogs, you should first let them be around other dogs at a regular park where they're all on leashes, then take them to a dog park.

Answer 3

That is one of the reasons I hate dog parks. Owners think 'fluffy' is cute no matter what they are doing. They THINK they have control of their dog and they do not.

Try going there at off hours like early mornings or at dinnertime. If there are very many dogs there, don't go. It is not fair nor good for your dog to be tormented. If you want to get her out, go to a obedience class or a puppy agility class. She will still be around other dogs but in a controlled atmosphere.

I know just how you feel. I have a small Tzu. She has been spayed. The neighbor comes over with her chihuahua and mine is always glad to see them and wants to play. that is quickly brought to a halt by the other dog always trying to mount her. Mine tries to run and sometimes fight back but I always end up scooping her up so he cant get at her. My husband said next time he is going to kick the other dog. I think he should kick the owner for not being more responsible with her pet. Plus the dog slobbers all over mine. Its just gross. I hate to be a bad neighbor but I think it is getting to that. If you come over leave your dog at home. She even brought her dog in our house one time and it crapped in the kitchen. I thought my husband was going to explode. I hate to jeopardize a friendship but come on people. A humping dog is not welcome anywhere unless you are breeding them. I don't care what the reason is they are humping...if you cant control them don't bring them out. By the way mine is NOT a puppy. She is 5. This dog and another are always humping her, air, legs, it has nothing to do with the pack. m

Answer 5

it truly is basically a case of church homes pandering for contributing ($$) contributors. it truly is long commonly used religious doctrine of all of the biggest bible-based denominations that animals have not got an immortal soul - as they do no longer look to be made in gods image. apart from, the animals at the instant are not tainted by using the unique sin of Adam and Eve (animals weren't case out of the backyard). So baptism may well be pointless... basically Buddhists / different *** religious would recognize the divine spark in animals. while you're taking a canine to be baptized (they might call it "blessing" no longer baptizing), they are going to ask you for some funds too, yet there its extra like, the motor vehicle is broken, they restoration it, you pay. With any Christian church, it truly is like, the motor vehicle runs, the mechanic is conscious there is no longer something to repair, yet you pay besides "basically in case".

Answer 6

I'd walk her somewhere else, where there are leash laws, or put her on a leash and lead her very quickly away from other dogs. Or you could ask the owners of the other dogs to keep their dogs away from yours, although if they're not on leash it could be problematic, since they are obviously not controlling their animals in the first place. She shouldn't have to put up with that.

Answer 7

i know exactly what you mean drives me nuts! we have a springer spaniel female and we always put her on a lead when we see another dog or children (as some dont like dogs). more poor dog has been attacked once coz someone was so far behind their dog they couldn't see it. my dog comes straight back to me as she doesnt like many other dogs so she had nowhere to run from this dog as she was with me. it took this man long enough to get hold of his dog that it bit mine and ended up with a bleeding leg and terrified. some people are just not responsible. it's always the nasty looking dogs that they let out of their sight, only last weekend we took her to a country park and some idiot had let his dog (pit bull thing) off the lead and was so for away from it that he didn't even know it was terrorising my dog and our son was screaming coz he was so scared (he usually loves dogs) this bloke didn't even know coz he was so far round the corner, were talking 200m away or more. i was disgusted, and his dog wouldn't come back when he was calling it. if your dog doesnt respond off the lead it shouldn't be allowed. i say again it should be law if you let your dog off lead you should have to put it on whilst passing other dogs and children. dog owners be more responsible!

Answer 8

Because she is still a puppy the other dogs are stating their position in the pack by showing her they are boss, this unfortunately is common doggy behaviour. If you continue to go to the same park and see the same dogs they will eventually stop doing this to her because she will already know that they are the boss.

Answer 9

Unfortunately, this is typical of alot of dogs, it is more a dominance thing than sexual. And a dog park is somewhere that dogs can go and actually just be dogs. I would say do not take her there.

Answer 10

Have you tried a high pressure squirt gun? If your girl is always on a leash and under your control then I'd try another park where leash laws are enforced if the squirt doesn't work.
