I have been taking my dog to the dog park every sunday for two years straight. Today, he lashed out and pretty much growled and nearly bit off a dogs nose. The only thing that was different today from all the othher days is I took him in the morning and he had not eaten anything. please help me! I don't want to stop taking him.

sometimes it could be the behavior of the other dog or something that your dog picked up by the demeanor of the other dog - any dog is given to change at anytime when circumstances occur. That is why we have to realize that he is an animal and we don't always think like they do - the dog whisperer has good sound advice and ways to correct and avoid problems - give it a look

Dogs have personalities like people and they all do not get along with each other. It could have been something the other dog did or an odor he did not like. My Lab loves everyone and almost every dog except my sister's dog. All the dogs he plays with are neutered and so his he but my sister's dog is not and they hate each other. I would not stop taking your dog if this is the first time this has happened. Just keep an eye on things and take note of your dog's posture and other dogs' postures around each other. Usually dog's will get very stiff posture if there is a problem or there is going to be one. If the problem gets worse take your dog to the vet to rule out a medical reason, it is unusual that your dog would just start hating other dogs.
