OP is clearly looking for a way to make an effort to take their dog somewhere. The small dog park is also for older dogs, so it's not uncommon to see other sizes there. It doesnt make it other people's responsibility, it's still OP that needs to say to be vigilant and say to someone walking in, "give me a minute I'm going to leash and take my dog out" in addition to trying to be there during quiet hours.

I know many on the left are uncomfortable with religion, and that’s valid, but I wish we took more advantage of how churches operate in many communities. Not only do they serve as a gathering place and social center for many people, they often do a lot of charity work and provide useful resources and connections for people. Many times they hold after school programs, soup kitchens, and do other volunteer work and can be cornerstones in their neighborhoods. I’m not advocating tax dollars go to churches or saying all churches are good, but frankly I think we need to use every tool in our box to start helping people out and helping underinvested neighborhoods recover

Sorry but no. As a small dog guardian I would not feel OK with a large, admittedly dog-reactive dog in the small dog area. Then it’s incumbent on the small dog owner to confront someone about being somewhere they shouldn’t be. There is a small dog section for a reason. Sure OP might be reasonable and leash up immediately but this does not need to become a trend or something that is suggested as a valid alternative. It’s not. Small dog areas are for small dogs. It’s the one place some of them can feel and BE safe.

Incorrectly identifying logical fallacies on reddit while trying to find places to let your mentally challenged pit bull run off leash. If you referenced cards with humanity right now you would ascend to loser heaven.

Many pitbull owners who think they are a worthier class of dog owners are just a place pitbulls get food until they try to kill something. Like the pibble that ate two children in memphis last fall.

This is why it is so rewarding to have a dog like mine. I’d guess there a quite a few who feel this way. You aren’t the first to tell me my dog should be killed and won’t be the last. This is my second large breed shelter dog with behavioral problems. The other one has earned the AKC canine good citizen certification, loves the beach, and lives a happy life. He started with me as a 60+ lb pit mix who was deemed “not suitable to be with any other animal” when we got him. Now he plays on a butt sniffing team at the dog park.

Thank you so much. My girl only has leash issues (like pull my arm out of socket level) and sensitivity to other dogs. Besides that she is a gem. We have a guy who trained our other dog who lives in the burbs with my ex. Did a great job. We tend to pick large dogs that have been at the shelter for a while, so we have been here before. Thanks for your offer of more info. Appreciate the support!
