Leash and recall are two important factors

Parks, streets, and malls are common public places where dogs often appear, especially some aunties and uncles who walk their dogs to the park to chat. Therefore, contact between dogs becomes inevitable. If you also walk your dog to the park, you need to pay attention to your dog's behavior and safety to avoid conflicts between dogs.

In the park, avoid letting your dog mob dogs entering the park, and also avoid your dog rushing over to other dogs. Observe how other dogs react when approaching your dog to greet, paying attention to signs of fear or anxiety. In any case, it is necessary to put a leash on your dog.

Do not let your dog snatch toys from other dogs. If your dog often takes others' toys, you must recall your dog promptly and return the toy to its original owner. This requires owners to pay more attention to recall training. If the toy-snatching behavior cannot be improved, then keep your dog leashed well and try to avoid contact with dogs playing with toys. After all, such behavior can make other dogs angry, causing conflicts. Therefore, it is best to prepare related toys yourself and offer them when you call your dog back.

Even if dogs get along well, their play should not be too intense. It's common that one dog is happy while another is bullied, or two dogs get overly excited and suddenly start fighting. To prevent this, you need to call your dog away and have it do something else before play gets too intense with other dogs.

Try to keep your dog within your control

Do not let your dog be too domineering. Some dogs may chase away other dogs playing in the park. Owners must promptly stop and criticize such behavior. You wouldn’t want your child invading others’ personal space; similarly, you should not let your dog jump on or bump into people in the park. Although most people in dog parks love dogs, many do not like being bumped or jumped on by dogs.

The primary reason dogs cause trouble in public places may be because owners are too busy chatting and not watching their dogs carefully. During this neglect, many small disputes may occur. Therefore, owners should watch their dogs' movements while chatting and try to keep them within controllable range.

What we need to do is teach our dogs to focus on interacting and playing with you rather than looking for people or dogs to cause trouble in the park. Recall training is essential to prevent trouble and must have a high success rate; otherwise, it may fail in certain situations.

Besides, wearing a leash is also necessary. Many owners think their dogs are well-behaved and that no problems will occur without a leash. Even if our dogs are well-behaved, we don’t know the temperament of other dogs. If another dog comes to provoke, most likely your dog will not stay silent, and a fight will break out. Therefore, for your dog’s safety, these two points must be done well.
