Aggresive behaviour at dog park

    And BTW, our dog park is separated--3 acres for the small dogs and 19 acres for the big dogs. But almost everyone uses the big dog section and there are very few problems.

     
    22 acres is very nice!! [:'(]LUCKY!!  are's isnt separated and only 2 acres!!
     
    I hope your appreciative!![:)]

    on a side note, I find it odd that all the dogs want to fight with the Pit. I came up with 2 rationales... 1.) the tense mood in the park alarms the dogs and makes them think the dog entering the park is a threat. 2.) ear cropping makes pits look more threatening and possibly signal the wrong things to other dogs.. ... these are just amatuer speculation.... what do you guys think?

     
    I think your amateur speculation could be accurate.  But, it could also be just that the Pit was a latecomer to an established play group, or that he has inadequate social skills that the other dogs find objectionable.
