I took Deniro & Gabbi to the dog park and there were like 7 other dogs there. It was fine in the beginning. A female shepherd was barking in her face, and at her shoulder. Gabbi was ignoring her and giving her space. I started to throw the ball and the dog would bark at nip at her shoulder so Gabbi backed off the ball and came back. The owner called the dog and then she came back again barking at her shoulder. I said "Stop it" and went to throw the ball again, same thing. Dog barked at Gabbi's shoulder & face the whole time, they came back she she wouldn't stop, I said "stop it" again, and she did.
They left a few minutes later. Was I wrong to say stop it to her? I know I get upset when people tell my dog what to do, but on the other hand I wouldn't let my dog bark relentlessly in another dogs face like that.
I rarely go to the dog park but had to let them run today as they are getting evaluated at a boarding place. (Citizen Canine ? Deluxe Dog Hotel in Oakland California doesn't it look lovely?
In the future should this happen again, should I not say anything to the dog?
