Dog Owner Gets Schooled By Fellow Dog Owners For Taking Their Intact Dog To The Park

Every dog owner should prioritize training their dogs before taking them to a dog park. No matter how unaggressive and courteous the pets are, they become thrilled when they see other dogs, particularly female dogs in public. It is important to neuter them in time to prevent them from engaging in indecent behavior.

OP received a two-year-old American Staghound from their uncle following the death of their first dog. He had originally purchased the dog for hunting purposes, but he was a very sensitive guy who had no desire to hunt. His personality was loving and sensitive, and he enjoyed cuddling. He immediately adjusted to his new life at OP’s place. When OP bought him, he was completely vaccinated but had not been neutered. Because of his unaggressive temperament, OP did not prioritize neutering him, but planned to schedule an appointment shortly. OP lives in a city with a little yard, so the dog must attend a dog park twice a week to run. Read the complete article to find out what happened at the dog park when a woman brought her female dog there.

1. OP asks if it was wrong to take their intact dog to the dog park.

2. OP’s uncle gave a two-year-old American Staghound to OP, who was a very polite and sensitive dog and loved to cuddle on the couch.

3. OP got him all vaccinated but not neutered. As he was an unaggressive and sweet dog, OP didn’t go to do the procedure yet.

4. OP took his dog to the dog park, where he enjoyed running alongside numerous other canines. A lady walked in with her female dog, who began running with the OP’s dog, which irritated her, and she called for her dog.

5. OP attempted to call their dog back, but was unable. Both dogs kept running, and OP’s dog chased well.

6. After 5 minutes, the dogs stopped, and the lady grabbed OP’s dog collar and chastised OP for bringing intact dogs to the park.

7. OP reattached his leash and returned home, wondering if it was wrong to take the dog to the park because he had not been neutered.

OP went to the dog park, and their dog was having fun running around with the other dogs. A lady arrived with her female dog, and OP’s dog began chasing her dog abruptly. OP attempted to recall him, but to no effect. They chased each other for five minutes, which irritated the lady. When they stopped running, she grabbed OP’s dog’s collar and handed it to him. She chastised OP for bringing their dog without altering it. OP was taken aback because his dog was merely running around and not acting aggressively. OP said nothing, reattached his leash, and went home.

Now that you’ve heard the story, let’s dive into what Redditors had to say. Keep reading to discover other people’s perspectives on the matter.

8. Indeed! OP did wrong by taking the dog to the park.

9. Redditor disapproves of OP’s behavior for taking their dog to the park when he wasn’t neutered and trained.

10. Redditor states that it was totally OP’s fault for not training the unneutered dog properly.

11. Yes, bringing the dogs to the park in the heat caused the trouble, and both parties should be blamed for it.

12. Redditor is against bringing female dogs to the park in the heat.

13. Redditor believes that OP shouldn’t take the dog to the park and let it off the leash as he wasn’t in OP’s control.

14. Redditor says that OP fails to take proper responsibility for OP’s intact and untrained dog.

15. Redditor is against the idea of taking a dog with poor recall to a dog park.

16. Redditor criticizes OP for taking their intact dog to the park.

17. Indeed! Intact and poor recall are bad combos, and OP had to work on both of them.

18. According to Redditor, if the lady’s dog is altered, she shouldn’t be worried about other people’s dogs running back her female dog.

19. Yes, the lady might have had a bad experience with some male, unneutered dog for responding so rudely to OP’s dog.

20. Redditor stays at a place in Europe where they do not alter their dogs so soon.

It wasn’t OP’s fault for bringing the dog to the dog park because he wanted to run once or twice a week. OP did not feel the need to keep the animal intact because he was not violent and well-behaved, but after observing his behavior with a female dog, OP should reconsider the operation soon. In the United States, most dogs are neutered shortly, therefore it is unusual for the lady to witness an untrained and unaltered dog running in the park since it could endanger her female dog in the heat. OP must accept full responsibility for their dog and take him to the dog park after he has been changed and properly trained to respect commands. What is your perspective on the OP’s situation?
