[NAGDU] Just out of curiosity

[Michael Hingson]

Hi,

I never take any of our dogs to a public dog park. I have seen too many undisciplined dogs and have seen too many dogs injured by aggressive unmanaged dogs.

I had an employee who got a puppy several years. Within a few months of getting the pup she took her to a dog park. My wife and I expressed concern over this, but, as you can imagine, our concerns fell upon deaf ears. After several visits to the park, one day her dog was almost killed by another uncontrolled larger dog. The dog survived, but our employee had several thousand dollars of vet bills.

If I need to run off energy with Alamo or any of my dogs I will do it elsewhere and where I can get some exercise too. 


Best Regards,


Michael Hingson

Hi all.

So I asked on a guide dog users list from my country if someone wanted to do walks once a week to exercise their dog and no one answered. 3 months later I asked if someone would like to take their dog to a local dog park so that my dog and theirs could socialize, and again no answer.

My question is this: do you folks who have program dogs have any restriction as far as taking your dog to dog parks, outdoor areas or socialize your dog with other non-assistance dogs is concerned? I ask this because maybe I'm asking something that's not allowed without me knowing it.

Thanks a lot!
