Hey everyone! I wanted get some advice relating to dog parks. I really would love to be able to take our two pups down to the dog park, but I'm worried about it. They haven't been socialized that well. They seem to do fine with dogs that are laid back and/or submissive. However, I'm concerned that if we take them to the park they may run into a dog that is dominant or plays very rough and that Daisy may get injured because she'll try to be a bully.
Does anyone have any suggestions for helping get them more socialized? We take them whenever we go visit my parents and work with their labs while we're there, but their labs are very non-aggressive. Although Rocky and Daisy are MUCH better than they were when we first got them, I'm still concerned about taking them to the dog park. Some people tell me just to take them and try it out, because I won't know until I do. But I don't want them (or someone else's dog) to get hurt.
Any advice??
Thanks!!
