After a lengthy and sometimes heated discussion on PMFA about people insisting on letting their dogs run off-leash in Carroll Park, comes this comment by a reader:
-
I wanted to revisit this post because of a similar experience I had today, only in reverse. We brought our 5-month-old puppy to Hillside Dog Run in Brooklyn Heights, which was covered in snow.
As usual dozens of parents show up with dozens of kids to sled down the hill inside the dog run. My very well behaved, if not excitable, puppy, got enthused by the action and at one point, playfully nipped at a kids arm. To which the obnoxious parent tells me that my dog should be trained to not bite children!!! And of course, explaining to this person that his child is SLEDDING IN A DOG RUN, so he should maybe expect that to happen some times, because dogs are trained while on leads, NOT WHILE RUNNING OFF-LEASH IN A DOG RUN WHERE YOU'RE LITTLE BRAT SHOULDN'T BE SLEDDING IN THE FIRST PLACE.
***UPDATE***
Please read the comment left by Matthew Parker, President of Friends Of Hillside Dog Park, regarding the shared use of the hill in case of snow. It's very interesting.
