Great Location

My dog loves it here, but every other time I take him there’s an incident. The dog park is really big, and also really popular and gets too busy sometimes. There are some aggressive dogs and some aggressive owners. My dog is extremely friendly and a sniffer so I do my best to tail him ,when ever he isn’t fleeting across the yard, so that I can make sure nothing happens. I’ve had an incident where a dog followed my dog around jumping on him (he plays like that with relatives pets so not too worried but I kept an eye on him) after a while my dog found the jumping dog again and started sniffing,eventually the other dog began to walk away and my dog followed. Assuming the other dog didn’t like that or something the male owner proceeded to tug aggressively at my dogs harness to get him away from his dog. So I grabbed my dog to seperate ,just to see his dog chasing my dog not long after…never grabbing his dog even though his dog is the aggressive one. I’ve seen where someone who just rescued a dog bring them to just test out how they are with other dogs, litteraly told me he had just got the dog the same day and just wanted to see if he was friendly or they’d have to give them back. I’ve had a regular tell me that having my dog on a leash could cause problems, specifically with his dog(he was kind about it but still) I’ve seen an all out dog fight. I’ve continued to bring him back thinking this can’t always be the situation but Idk if I can bring my dog back… even though he really enjoys it, it just brings too much anxiety about his safety. ( lol and there are a group of regulars who walk the track taking up the whole track and instead of making room for others to past by you have to walk around them on the grass) it’s an annoying experience now
