no the alternative is training your dog to walk on a leash. If you have a high energy breed it is your responsibility to find ways to accommodate your dog rather than put them at risk in a dog park. Whether that is through daily training sessions or other enrichment is up to you. There are plenty of alternate options to dog parks.

And yeah I shared that concept on dog licenses in another comment I agree in theory I just don’t think it is realistic for another 5 or 10 years

Context is important here. They are just starting work on one building now. The two VYV towers are part of the plaza redevelopment and there was quite a bit of time between even those two. So yes, there will be some immediate construction, but I wouldn't worry about the rest of the plaza going up anytime soon.

We got the same email today from my kid’s school and I was SHOCKED. They seem to have not told the kids about it because they had no idea (she’s about to be 4 and if she heard about a raccoon afoot she wouldn’t be able to stop talking about it)

This is her owner. For the record, she is not vicious, nor is she dangerous. Trust me, she is far from the most dangerous dog in the park. Is she perfect? No, she isn't. But we have worked really, really hard on her reactive behavior and with a lot of success. And any regulars in the park would tell you I watch my dog with vigilance.

​

Trolling and playing keyboard coward is lame and, more importantly, dangerous. You have an issue? Call me at 201-978-1474, or there is no shortage of people in that park who know where I live. This constant posting with no context is absurd, it's a one-sided attack like the fool who posted 6 months ago. There is no shortage of authorities to report the behavior, and Reddit isn't one of them. How about communicating with owners instead of hiding behind your keyboard? None of this is productive and again, dangerous.

PS. My dog was not the biter or even the aggressor in a scuffle last night in the park that the OP may have been referring to.

Sincerely,

And that leaves what, illegally letting your dog off leash elsewhere in that park or in some other park?

Honestly, 'dog licenses' should mean the owner has qualified to own a dog by passing a training knowledge test and posting a liability bond. (Don't get me started on 'parenting licenses')
