Dyker Beach Dog Run — Attraction in New York

One hour here and witnessed two dog fights. Owners have no control over their dogs and do not care when their dog is the one causing the fights. There's this one young guy with a sheperd type dog that is ball aggressive and fought one dog and the owner still didn't do anything and just kept throwing the ball. The dog snapped at three other dogs prior to the dog fight. When confronted, he got defensive.

Another couple with a Shiba Inu that's reactive and all they did was call their dog's name when it was snapping and fighting other dogs. Please don't bring reactive dogs to the dog park, it stresses them out and there's other ways to socialize and train reactive dogs.

I recommend going to Kensington or Hillside where the owners watch and are accountable for their dogs. They will step in to get their dogs when acting up and keep the environment safe...

UPDATE: I really like this dog run, just a shame from several factors. One is where it's difficult to go there unless you live around there, have a car, or a small dog and go on the bus.

It's about an hour walk from me so my dog usually just gets tired or too stubborn to keep walking. Another thing is you should keep an eye on your dog and make sure people do the same since when I would go there-a tendency for a fight to happen with other dogs was high.

There have been other times where a dog would be aggressive but the owner doesn't want to leave or starts pointing fingers even though everyone saw what happened.

It's great but only a place I'd go if I'm feeling like it's a mood or after the vet that's nearby. I'd also really would want to go there when there are less dogs. Also by far the only official dog run I've seen in Brooklyn that has a...

Great place for dog lovers and their dogs. There's a water fountain for you and your dogs. There are some balls to play fetch with there or bring your own toys, because that's not a given. There were plenty of dog bowls for you to fill with water from the fountain to use for your dogs. Bring extra bags or use the ones on the fence to pick up after your dog. There's a separate small area for smaller, shy pets. There's a few picnic tables and benches but they fill up fast on a busy day. There's a couple small round mini kiddie plastic dipping pools, community donated, if your dog loves water. There's a water hose with good water pressure to use as you wish as well. All in all an enjoyable stop in for you and your dogs. You and your dog will be...
