The original OP asked if she should be looking for a different venue to socialize her puppy. The wise dog owners answered her by saying dog parks are not the place to socialize a puppy and for that matter a mature dog. In fact when speaking to most veterinarians, they will also agree that dog parks are not a good place. But for those who choose to go to dog parks so be it. You were told the reasoning why dog parks are not good. That's all one can do. So, point being, if one asks a question, that means they want to hear good advise. Especially from those who have the experience and wisdom. Those that don't want to take the good advise that is given, don't, but don't try and give bad advise in return, for you will be brought to task in a heartbeat. You see, this board is filled with people who have such passion for the breed that they think of the breed first and foremost and they will defend and protect it with everything they have. And their weapon of choice, is KNOWLEDGE and EXPERIENCE.
