McAlister Dog Park — Attraction in Lubbock

I have a small German Shepherd and an Aussie Shepherd Silkie. The park is well set up for all size dogs, small ones to the left, large ones to the right, the center enclosure has training equipment set up. Only issue I had, besides the water not working, was folks taking multiple sized dogs in one enclosure.

And it's always impressive that regardless of the behavior or protectiveness of the dogs in the cars and parking lot, as soon as the leash is off and they can run and sniff each other, they all seem to...

Posting about the ACTUAL park: It's nice and clean with friendly dogs. Review that calls out Zoey has a picture of the "aggressive" dog on her back in a submissive state. Don't call out specific dogs in your review of a park, and don't leave out the whole picture. I know people bring small dogs to the large dog designation, and I've seen owners let their "precious angels" go free, but as soon as the "aggressive" breed reacts it's all their fault. Take that 3 star review with a grain of salt. True dog...
