We have been using the Daphne dog park for three years. An over stimulated aggressiveq dog attacked and severely bit our dog as we entered the dog area. Female owner reacted with anger and profanity to us and our friend. Several dog owners witnessèd the attack and offered us their names and phone numbers.
I ask female owner if her dog had up to date shots. She responded with profanity and would not answer. She prepared to leave the park.
I ask female dog owner to provide me her dog's proper, current vaccination tags and information. She stated she would not provide information. Female took a picture of my car tag, stated she did not have a car. A female at the dog park stated she would take her home and this individual used the same profanity to me. Both females got in the car and went speeding out of the park past the school to the east. They should have had a ticket for the speed of the car. I did not follow them.
The owner needs to come forward with proper current shot records for her dog. She stated due to her uncle's sheriff status she has no responsibility to the law.
I am not sure the Daphne dog park is the right place for a responsible, law abiding, handicapped, senior citizen with a service dog who is properly vaccinated.
We love our dog and the lack of respect this female exhibited with her behavior and her dogs aggressive behavior are not worth the park. I hope no children are in the park when she and her aggressive dog are there.
Her dog was about the same size as my dog, so it was not the size. My dog is approximately 25-30 pounds.
The female attacked my son verbally and our senior handicapped friend who was walking with a cane. The female screamed in their close personal space, let's see you hit a woman. This behavior should not be tolerated and if her sheriff uncle protects her, as she stated, he is wrong too. My son and our friend walked away from her. Many people came forward to provide witness to this female's aggressive dog and...
Read moreThe park itself is wonderful. There have been issues with large dogs on the little dog side. Some owners refuse to remove them when you ask nicely. I reported it to code enforcement, so hopefully this will change. It clearly is posted on the gates the dog weight limits allowed on each side, 25 pounds and under small dog side. It is unfortunate that dog owners ignore the rules for selfish reasons. A smaller dog could be injured by a heavier dog if it...
Read moreNice big dog park with separate areas for large and small dogs. Nice they have city water supply and a splash tub for the water lovers, as well as a climbing structure. Poop bags supplied, but as an unfortunate too often occurrence, some people don't watch their dog and don't pick up after them. People are friendly, nice shade areas and dogs are behaved. Usually a good variety and quantity of dogs to wear each other out. Nice clean public...
