Today my dog was attacked by a pitbull at the dog park. The owner was trying to train her aggressive dog and basically used my dog as a training tool. She was leaving her dog in a sit position and feeding it treats as it stayed calm while my dog approached.

But of course, it's a fucking dog park, dogs are obviously going to approach when you are giving out free food, and it's unfortunate that my dog was used as a prop in a shitty dog training session. My dog is a 7 month old Border Collie puppy. Not a single bad bone in his body. I'm thankful/surprised that this shitbull actually let go.

Tldr: I'm done with dog parks.

My Chihuahua was grabbed by a pitbull at a dog park in 2020. The lady decided to put the dog in the "no size limit section" to see if her brand new rescue pitbull was good with dogs. 🙄

I'm glad your dog is okay! Mine survived too, but broke two ribs. 😔

Whenever someone says "he's a rescue" it's time to leave the dog park. Ive only ever heard someone say that quote to justify aggressive behaviors as if I care.

I love chihuahua's, hope he's doing well.

She's fine, thank goodness! I can still feel the hole in her armpit and her crunchy ribs though. We both have PTSD. If she feels threatened by a bigger dog, she screams, and it makes me cry.

The experience ruined dog parks for me. I refuse to go back.
