>>Do you guys not even know how dogs play? My friends dogs were all very mellow and used just like to chase or be chased by other dogs, and tackle each other, so when I got mine, I assumed theyd usually be like that. Mine ended up being a mouth wrestler, but he seemed to be an exception, at least at my dog park. Not everyone brings their dogs to husky gatherings or enjoys roughhousing with their dog. Its easy for a new dog owner to misinterpret playbiting as real biting. Yeah, he had no right to train your dog (especially if he was inexperienced), but unless he was giving the dog a real beating (as in not just lightly smacking it), it should not have bit him. If your dog is very head-sensitive, he shouldnt be running off-leash where there are a lot of other people and dogs. Use common sense. Just because its a dog park doesnt mean its okay to let a large, aggressive dog run around off-leash.
Yes, it would have been better if he had been able to get you to stop your dog, but since dogs arent connected to owners by leashes, its not immediately obvious who owns the dog or if theyre even close by. >>Everyone loves how well mannered, obedient he is. Maybe this was this guys first time here and he didnt know. Maybe youre just an asshole with an inflated sense of worth. Maybe your dog is obviously being well-mannered to you, but people who dont know your dog assume its aggression. When this guy was bitten, he probably did not think of your dog as being well-mannered. And also, if this guy was hitting, your dog, why didnt you stop him after the first time? Where you off on the other side of the park? If you know your dog bites without warning, you should be keeping a close eye on it at all times anyway.
