Re: Didn't push back

[quote=glowworm3980;803758]Yea, that won't happen again. I'm glad in a way that he was submissive because like others have stated a law suit or vet bill is more expensive. But then on the other hand I just wanted him to say, " Wo there budy, don't come at me like that! You don't know me!" I guess that the human way of acting versus a more intelligent dog. Like you said, he has a ways to go in mental development, and maybe next time confronted like that it will be different. I thought thought that letting them socialize like that in a dog park is good for them?[/QUOTE]

Well, the problem with dog parks is that ANYONE can bring their dogs there - so sometimes you end up with ill-mannered dogs AND clueless owners who don't realize that their dog is misbehaving. Any time a rottie and another dog get into it, guess what, the rottie will be blamed REGARDLESS of the situation. I only bring my dogs around other dogs that we KNOW, friends dogs, neighbor's dogs, family dogs, so that we KNOW the owner and the dog.
