[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If this is Shirlington, then I disagree.  The big dog section is a half mile pathway with access to the water.  The small dog section is smaller than my backyard.  If the sides were more equal I would agree.

Really though, the more I learn about dogs the less I like dog parks.  They are a fantastic resource for apartment living dogs to run off leash, but the dog/dog interactions are pretty iffy if you know how to read behavior.  When I go, I try to go during down times when there aren't other dogs, and if anyone gets too rowdy we leave.[/quote]

I’ve been going almost every day (yes, even in this weather) and maybe it’s a slow time of year but even with a lot of dogs around I don’t find interactions to be iffy. It seems like most (not all, but most) owners are respectful and intervene when necessary. My dog does very well there and it’s the best part of her day. Sure, she can run in my yard, but the socialization is what she enjoys.[/quote]

Lol. Everything is fine amongst the dogs in park until suddenly it's not and nipping and gnashing begins. It happens in an instant, PP. You've just been lucky so far.[/quote]
