Hound Ground — Attraction in Winter Springs

I'm utterly pissed off and disappointed. I've been to this park before on foot and it seemed like a nice place to let my dog socialize with other dogs and people. This was our first time there and everything was going fine at first. There was three dogs there when I arrived(curr mix , border collie, and a smaller pug mix) all the dogs were very friendly and the owners were supervising their own dogs and also were very nice to my dog. The curr and smaller mix dog hit it off with my dog instantly and they were all playing while the border collie was more entertained with their owners throwing its ball. However shortly after a man arrived with two dogs-both OFF LEASH which, by the way, is against the rule stated on the site that says "they must arrive and leave on one". They stuck by their owner though so I didn't put much thought to it but, when my dog (who likes meeting new people more than dogs) saw a new person she went over. The other dogs didn't bat an eye at her until she went to greet their owners and they BOTH attacked my dog and RAN HER DOWN ACROSS THE PARK, biting and attacking her the whole way. The owner didn't acknowledge any of this happened nor did he remove his dogs, which is ANOTHER RULE of the park: "at the first sign of aggression the dog must be removed." My dog ran back to me and the other two dogs stopped chasing her. The owner of the friendly curr and pug mix talked to me about it but our dogs continued to play. At this point the boarder collie left. A few moments after the two dogs approached us again but I assumed they were just being over protective of their owner beforehand so it would be fine. The smaller of his two tan dogs sniffed my dog (who was standing at my legs) and started showing teeth and growling at my dog even though my dog didn't move an inch. The friendly curr came over to my dog and got in the middle of the other dog growling at mine and his dog then attacked this poor curr. After them spinning over each other for what felt like forever the owner of the curr cared enough to separate them unlike the man of the two aggressive dogs that did NOTHING. After she got her dog the man quickly called his dogs and left the park not even bothering to say anything about what happened or check the dog that got attacked or even his?? The lady with the smaller pug mix left quickly too while I found my dog hiding under a bench. I asked how the other dog that got attacked was while I noticed a park ranger on a cart outside the fence where it occurred watching. He drove to the opening of the dog park and then proceeded to awkwardly stare at our dogs in silence causing them both to bark that's when he told this girl whose dog got ATTACKED that her dog was banned from the park?!! We both were exiting when I informed the man that the two dogs before were not only the aggressive ones who started this fight, but also had just a few minutes ago attacked and ran my dog down and his response was "well I didn't see any of that" even though it broke rules of the park. Apparently this man didn't even care? The owner of the dog who got attack was clearly upset and stated again that this was outrageous since her dog was attacked and the man then told her that she too was banned from the park and would be considered trespassing if she returned. I'm not only upset that my dog got attacked and ran down but this poor other dog actually got injured and was then banned for something the man with the aggressive dogs should have been banned for. I will be making complains about this whole situation but mostly the rude and...

I have been bringing my dog to this park for 5 months with no incidents. She loves this park. She has never shown aggression or been involved in any sort of fights. Today after a dog (who attacked another dog earlier in the time that I was there) attacked my dog, my dog was banned from this park because she defended herself and thus was deemed "aggressive." The man with the aggressive dog never once tried to intervene in the fight, never said a word to me (nor the park ranger standing at the gate as he was leaving.) The park ranger didn't bother to stop him from leaving the park to get the situation sorted out, either. Instead he profiled my dog, assumed that he knew what happened even though he pulled up at the last minute, and banned my dog from her favorite place. Upon leaving, one other woman remained with her dog. She asked the park ranger why my dog was being banned when that man's dogs had attacked her dog as well as mine. His reply was simply "I wasn't around for that." The negligence in the staff is honestly disgusting. The park ranger didn't even bother to understand the whole story, instead jumping to conclusions and profiling my dog. Please keep a careful eye out as, apparently, the man (tall, brown hair & brown beard, glasses, drives a Jeep) and his dogs (two tan, tall, hunting dogs) are free to use the park & I do not want anyone else's dog being injured more severely than my dog and/or banned for...

It's a nice park to go to but recently, my dog has been attacked and bitten by another dog named ACE. The owner does not seem to take responsibility for his dog's actions and keeps bringing his dog to the park on Saturday and Sunday mornings at 7 to 8am. This dog has been aggressive towards other dogs and has dragged a puppy by the ear. Please be aware and keep your dog away from. The owner has been confronted but still keeps bringing the dog to the park. This has been a horrible experience for me. My dog is non-aggressive and just likes to play like a puppy, is within the required weight limits of the park area, and gets along with other dogs. Animal control states to contact the park ranger if any more aggression from this dog occurs. It's not the dog. It's the necessity for training that I...
