Behnke Memorial Dog Park

I went here despite some of the reviews, but I should’ve stayed away. I was anxious about taking my 1 and a half year old rescue to a dog park for the first time. She is friendly and loves dogs but she gets really anxious around humans.

I was overjoyed when I arrived, and there was only one person and their dog , the two dogs played nicely together. Another one joined they all were playing and slowly more dogs trickle in.

However, there was a loud group of women that obviously felt like they owned the park. One was shouting out to her rambunctious little cocker spaniel “I can’t believe you’re even in here running around with that dog in here” pointing at my 30 lb lab terrier mix that resembles a Pit. Then the other women says “yeah I know, my dog is too scared to come in”

like are people making their dogs racist now too?

I immediately call my dog over, leash her and walk toward the exit because I know trouble in a paperboys hat when I see it - when the cocker spaniel mentioned before starts attacking my dog from underneath her chin and biting at her skin and barking while I’m holding my dog up and the other owner is video taping it and saying “omg she doesn’t know “come” yet, she’s not fully trained” and doing nothing to stop her dog. At this point, my dog is growling and the owner says “no I don’t blame her” - I’m about to start growling tbh - I left immediately because something about that encounter felt intentional. The only dogs they accept are full bred dogs - literally there were no other mutts - and if you have a Pit or anything that even RESEMBLES a pit beware.

I advise finding another dog park, honestly I thought it was ridiculous to pay for a membership but I can see why now. Unkind and unwelcoming people troll here.
