Is Your Dog Okay For A Dog Park?

Dog parks are notorious places for dog fights to take place and this often is attributed to the fact that dog owners are often too distracted in talking to other dog owners or reading a book than paying attention to their dog's interaction with other dogs. Dogs may give many dog stress signals before getting into a fight. Often, dog parks also feature dogs with poor manners, rude behaviors and little social skills which may create the ideal grounds for a fight to occur. Often, dog owners will point their finger to the ''bully breeds'' when they are totally unaware that their ''friendly Labrador'' was the one that really provoked and initiated everything. A careful eye on a dog's behaviors and its interactions with other dogs is, therefore, a must. One second of distraction may turn a playful game into a bloody mess.
