Thoughts on the below?

I just pulled into a local park as I had 3000 steps or so left to do, and I was minding my own business, walking along listening to a podcast. LOTS of people walking their dogs.

A nearby couple (couple a) were walking their puppy and accidentally dropped the lead, the puppy charged over towards another couple that were slightly ahead of me (couple b) in a typical excited puppy jump around situation, however the wife of couple b clearly did not like dogs, or had not had much interaction with dogs and was clearly scared, her partner tried protecting her and kicking at the dog and then let rip screaming at couple a, saying don’t scare my wife, etc. Couple b’s assumed husband joined the screaming match after grabbing the lead and essentially yelled back ‘THIS IS A DOG PARK, IF YOU DONT LIKE DOGS, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!’. I did dawdle to the side as I thought it might turn physical and I’d have to break up the old blokes. Couple a ended up angrily leaving the park by the gate next to them.

Now it’s not a dog park by title, but it is an off lead park, and while you are meant to be able to recall your dog, a puppy does have to be in these environments to learn.
I did chuckle when I drove past both couples walking the same way home about 10 minutes later, about 150m apart.

A lot of over reaction all round.

Kicking a dog pretty low act .

Really don't understand people are really scared of dogs .

People come down to the off lead dog beach who are scared quiet a bit .

If you're that terrified of dogs that you're going to be screaming and kicking at it, then don't go to a place where you'd reasonably expect dogs to be.

People are silly sometimes.

Well some people are, you don't really need to understand just accept it. That said not sure why you'd go to an off leash park if you are, that doesn't make sense.

I was down the local (on lead) park a few weeks back with my son's cricket team getting some practice in, plenty of owners just letting their dogs run around and not giving a ****. I think dog owners have gotten worse since COVID in terms of monitoring of their animals in public.

Anyone know what these are?

Probably shouldn't be going to an off-lead dog park for a walk tbh.

But couple B probably should not have reacted that way either.

I am sure there are things you are scared of that people 'don't understand'.

Why would you be in a dog park if any kind if you're shit scared of them?

I think alot of things have gotten worst since covid eg driving .

There's plenty of places dogs not allowed.


Humans if scared of dogs eg been attacked etc.
They stay well away.

Dog been attacked if you keep them in a bubble .
They either scared or aggressive to other dogs.
Not good for their social skills.

Interesting the difference between the two.

 

[Beerfish]

Why would you be in a dog park if any kind if you're shit scared of them?

Maybe it's the only nearby public open space?

 

[Chief]

Maybe it's the only nearby public open space?

Fair enough.

 

[Nothing]

Maybe it's the only nearby public open space?

Unless it's Compton why not walk the streets (if you are that scared of dogs)?

I understand both sides but dogs do need to interact and that sometimes means they do dog things.

 

[Gralin]

Generally off lead areas are signed as such

If you're in an offlead area afraid of dogs and attacking them if they come near you the problem is you

 

[rocker_oz33]

You'll be surprised how many people come to the off lead well signed area.
And don't want dogs anyway near them.
Even they walk right up to them.

 

[Off The Couch]

I’m surprised how many people bring their small children and a ball to an off lead park and then are surprised to see dogs screaming around and them chasing their kids ball

Mums and dads were getting shitty at the dig park at the dogs .
But the kids were playing on the dog equipment and walking on the rocks.

Some kids run and dogs will chase them.
Kids needs to be socially trained around dogs IMO.

 

[rocker_oz33]

A dog attacked one of my dogs at the dog park.I stopped it .
Other owners what happened your dog attacked him.
Owner why you so clam about it.
Well if i get in a fizzle about it my dogs will be in a fizzle, they'll sence my engry.

He goes I'm sorry.
At least you come over pretty fast and not sit on your phone like most.

 

[Chief]

All sounds like kind of a hint that they need proper fenced dog parks?
