Last evening at the dog park our Chi mix was attacked by a beagle mix. Fortunately, she wasn't physically hurt but it's too early to tell if there's any psychological damage. She seemed OK and was friendly with other dogs afterward as well as doing some of her jumping tricks we've been working on.
The dog also tried to start fights with other dogs and finally, after a few more attacks, the owner leashed and removed his dog from the park. Park rules state that any aggressive dog needs to be short leashed immediately and removed from the park.
This was in the small dog area of the park that is only supposed to allow dogs under 20 lbs. I'm not sure how much this dog weighed but it looked more in the 30 lb range. I guess the owner didn't want to take his untrained, aggressive, dog into the large dog area where some pits and GSDs would have explained the facts of doggie life to an aggressive smaller dog.
It was also annoying that some other people had larger dogs in the small dog park. While these dogs behaved themselves, having them there encourages people with less trained large and mid sized dogs to bring their dogs into this area.
