    It is really odd for me to see the Terry Deerhound thread resurrected. That incident provides no evidence one way or another about dogs and parks - it easily could have happened on the sidewalk with leashed dogs.

    It seems to me that off-leash hours are pretty easy to avoid if you dislike them for one reason or another. Bad owners are the only problem, and those dogs are usually even worse when they are on the leash . . .

    I used to go to offleash BEFORE I had a dog - just to see the hundreds of dogs romping around. We brought a friend from the midwest who is a breeder and runs dog shows -- she was knocked out by how excellent the scene and the socialization was! I don't buy your claim that all the "experts" are against a situation like the one in PP. The "expert" I brought over was delighted, when she witnessed it for herself.

    it's true, those things are dangerous
    Q, if I'm readin' you correct-like you're saying you got mugged for a Cuz ball? Damn...

    EDIT: Now I read it again and it looks like your dog got attacked...what's in those balls, dognip?
    it's that ferking squeak that sounds like a dead duck
    it triggers some instinctive cavedog "must.fight.for.toy"

    This ParkAdvocate person is quoting experts as though they are aware of the off-leash situation and are advocating against it. In reality ParkAdvocate simply found places on these websites where they say that dogs should be kept on leashes when out in public.

    I bet the people from the ASPCA, etc. are not aware of the unique situation we have here in NY and I don't believe that their comments about the use of leashes are in reference to this situation. Heck, a dog run is a public area, should dogs be leashed there? Of course not. Should they be leashed when walking down the sidewalks? Absolutely. This type of argument by ParkAdvocate further chips away at his/her credibility.

    I also find it odd that the blog does not allow comments to discuss these issues. This person wants to try to push his/her agenda and manipulate whatever quotes are available to fit this agenda without others raising issue with it.

    It's a shame actually because I think that the people in favor of off-leash have been very open to discussing the issues and concerns that others have. Off-leash hours have only been successful due to the desire of the dog owner community to promote responsibilty among those participating and to respect the rights of others.
