Watch for dog fights and people who ignore the rules

My 10 pound chihuahua and I were regulars here for months, I would regularly notice the fights on the big dog side and the way owners would handle it poorly. People also constantly bring big dogs over to the small and side and say "my dog is shy" or "they're really gentle". Completely ignoring the fact that a perfectly nice large dog could squash my little boy during play. There are also people who go every day who know less than nothing about dog behavior, bring food in, which causes aggression, and are constantly yelling at their dogs. The final straw was a woman who brought her German Shepard to the small dog side, I immediately asked her to move, she refused saying, "I can be anywhere I want". Then her dog started to make my dog very afraid and he started jumping at her dog in defensive snapping. Her dog lunged at mine and I held it off by grabbing its collar. She got in my face and threatened to hit me. I didn't back down but stood my ground. I did yell that there are rules and signs about dog size. She finally took her dog to the proper side. I'm done. Too much anger, chaos, and ignorant people who are clueless about dog behavior.
