It's funny how OP doesn't realize she's catering to her own social needs, not her dog's, or any other dogs'.[/quote]

Op here. Huh? My dog adores the park. I like it too, but she adores it. Drags me there when we leave the house. It’s odd to see post after post with dog park haters because my experience is that many of my neighbors dogs like the park. Socializing of dogs is wonderful. My dog loves our family but we can’t run and play tussle with her in a way that real dogs can.

I’ve also never heard a vet say that dog parks are bad. Maybe the people they say this to have aggressive dogs?

[b]Link to a reputable source saying dog parks are to be avoided? I’d like to read the reasoning behind it.[/b] [/quote]

You won't find this. What you'll find are LOTS of articles written by reputable sources listing the pitfalls of dog parks, and urging caution. Not all dogs/owners "must avoid" dog parks, but they're far from essential. Use at your own risk.

That you don't seem to see or understand the potential risks basically defines the risk. Ignorant people with poorly-trained animals tend to frequent these places.[/quote]
