Park would be great if other dog owners in the area didn’t suck.

It’s a beautiful and spacious park, with benches and plenty of trees for shade, a dog water fountain, and an area to hose off your dogs if they get dirty.

However, the good is outweighed by the dog owners who don’t understand dog body language and don’t realize that making false reports about dogs being aggressive can put dogs’ lives in danger.

One of the first few times I came here earlier in the morning, there was a man who brought his dog (that was technically too small to be in the large dog section that he also trains to attack and bite) and attacked my Pit-mix and when she reacted, they made a report that she was aggressive and bit their dog, even though mine was the one that was bleeding.

Fast forward a few months later, and I started coming later in the morning to avoid the crowd that included the guy from the first instance and used to come literally every day as it’s only a 5-10 minute drive from me and didn’t have any issues with other dogs. My dogs were playing with another dog that also comes there regularly and they’ve played with without issue, and they started playing rough and the other dog owner called me over and I separated the dogs and at the time, the other dog owner said she was fine and not to worry about it, only for me to bring them in today and the other dog owner shows up and the park employee tells me that he wants to make a bite report about my dog.

Neither of our dogs were barking, yelping, or growling while this happened and both dogs had tails that were high and wagging, and they kept sneezing when I walked over to separate them. Anyone who actually knows dog body language knows this is positive dog body language that doesn’t indicate aggressive behavior.

If people weren’t such primadonnas that made false reports, this would probably be a 5-bone park. But then again, what else should you expect from dog owners from Doral? Just be warned if you have a dog that likes to play rough occasionally, people might try to say your dog is being aggressive and could get them in a potentially very bad situation.
