man how i wish there is something exactly like this in richmond, fenced off off leash parks. My min pin isnt properly socialized with a huge ego so he's quite aggressive, growling and lunging at new dogs, however in the past few months i've taken him out to the park every day for an hour or so a day to socialize on leash there. He's gotten alot better with smaller dogs, he'll scope them out and as they get close, he's growl and snarl but if the other dog is mellow, he'll shut up after sniffing and begin to want to play. With big dogs he still goes all out nasty. Problem is when he growls and pull on the leash, if i let go and goes up to the other dogs he'll be quite and become friendly, if i hold onto the leash he'll keep doing it not matter how i correct him. Most other dog owners just glare at me and pull their dog away when they see him snarling. The ones that understand behavior just let their dog be and allow my dog to approach them, then it's all good. I need to find a fenced off park so he can go socialize regularly now. He needs to learn to be nice when approaching another dog or get nipped at if he approaches too aggressively so he will play nice.
