First dog park visit

Took Meeko to the dog park for the first time today!! He absolutly loved it! at first he would just run form the bigger dogs and hide behind me but then after a couple hours he was chasing them and just had a blast!! He did soo good. Now i realized just how trained his is. He would come when called and if he took someone elses ball id tell him to drop it and he did. The boxer that was there kept taking other peoples tennis balls and would take off and not drop it. Eventually they left when they got their ball. Thats was not fun the guy thought it was funny.. no on else did. But he loved it and I would like to take him again soon. Anyone take their corgi to a dog park regularly?

Comment by Harrison & Melyza on October 20, 2011 at 8:33pm: I've taken Harrison only twice so far. The first time didn't go so well. He got "attacked" my a bigger dog TWICE who I guess got annoyed by my puppy's excited barking. He didn't actually hurt him but Harrison started crying, which I had never heard from him before! After a few minutes he cautiously went out from hiding under me and started to play again. And once again the dog came after him. After that the dog owner came over and picked up his dog, asked if my pup was ok and walked away. He then kept his dog on a leash by his side on the other side of the park which I appreciated. What I didn't like was a random lady walking over to us asking why he was crying. I explained it was his first time there and he had just gotten scared. She replied "oh, well I guess its ok for today, but next time it wont be". Excuse me!!!

:sigh: the second time was alot better. Harrison fell into puppy love twice ;)

My mother (who is Maddie's owner) was terrified that Maddie wouldn't do well but I made her come with and watch how well she did and I think she nearly fainted with surprise. Maddie is very territorial and unsocial at the house, can't figure it out, but at the park she's friendly, submissive and listens (for the most part). Buddha is just always good and enjoys herding all the other dogs and hogging the obstacle course.

Glad you had a good experience! It's fun to watch them play.

Comment by Sandy Stickney on October 18, 2011 at 9:11pm: The dog park is great until you run into other dog owners like that. We were at the park recently and there was a pug there that wouldn't leave my poor Kota alone. The pug kept pinning Kota down and sniffing her. His owner sat there and did nothing. (Although he was very quick to forcefully push my dog down off the bench when she jumped up near him to get away from his annoying dog.) My husband had to keep removing his dog from ours because the guy just ignored his dog. But normally we have a good time at the dog park, and they generally get a lot of attention. Kirby loves to chase other dogs and loves to get them to chase him.
