Yeah. I don’t want to be there when someone like you walks up. My dog has never bitten, but she sounds really scary. I don’t want to have to try to explain myself when I have no justification for being there. All while my dog channels her inner cujo voice. Not good PR for the large dog crowd.

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!

Glad to hear training was so helpful. Druid Hill courts sounds very interesting. She is great with people and I would have time to ask a dog walker not to enter. Who but me and you want to bring our dogs there anyway?
