Can’t take my dog to the dog park anymore?
I have a Texas Blue Lacy that I would always love to take to the dog park when he was a puppy, but now that he’s in his adult stage, he’s become very territorial, every time I take him to the dog park, he’s the only dog in the park that barks, it’s really annoying and distracting, not to mention embarrassing as he’s urinating everywhere, trying to mark his territory about a million times in the dog park, specifically on the water fountain where other dogs drink water.
The last time I took him to the dog park he tried attacking the garbage man who was there to collect the trash from the dog park. After that, I decided he was too aggressive for the dog park, however, I’ve tried taking him other places where he can run free, but being that I live in Southern California, the only places that allow dogs to roam without a leash are dog parks. He can literally run around for hours off leash which equates to too much energy for a leashed dog.
Just curious if there are any SoCal people out there that have this same problem and if they have any solutions for a high energy dog that needs to be off leash but is too aggressive for the dog park.
