🐾 How to Handle Aggressive Dogs at the Dog Park – Real Advice from Dog Owners
Visiting the dog park can be a joyful activity for both you and your furry friend—but aggressive encounters can quickly […]
Jean H. Kislak Community Dog Park in Rockport, ME is a spacious park featuring grassy areas with trees, a gazebo for shade and seating, and a small dedicated section for small dogs. The park provides bags and trash bins but does not have a water fountain. While many visitors appreciate the friendly community and natural, gently sloping terrain, there have been serious safety concerns raised about aggressive dogs and lack of control by some owners.
This dog park allows dangerous breeds. My daughter’s golden retriever was attacked by a pack of pit bulls. Stay away from this dog park for your own safety.
DO NOT TAKE YOUR DOG HERE!!! WE WERE MAULED AND MAIMED BY PITBULLS! Our precious docile golden retriever was brutally attacked by 3 pitbulls. My husband and I were subsequently attacked while trying to save him. NONE of the other owners involved came to help us or handle their aggressive dogs. They knew they would get hurt! We ended up with broken fingers, a piece of my ear missing from a bite, multiple stitches, and lots of trauma. DO NOT RISK YOUR LIFE OR YOUR DOGS LIFE-DO NOT TAKE THEM TO ANY DOG PARK NO ONE CAN BE TRUSTED.
Dangerous – be aware of incompetent owners and aggressive/violent dogs. They ruin it for everyone else.
Most importantly, stay safe and know the owner and dogs – it’s not worth the risk.
My wife and I had to save our golden retriever from at least three pit bulls / mixed breeds while being mauled and attacked. The owners did nothing to manage the situation or control their dogs.
Our dog and us ended up in the emergency room with extensive injuries.
My pup Marco and me went for the first time this week and loved the people and the dogs we met! My Aussie had a very good time and all the pups and people were well behaved 👏bravo! Grateful! I thought the size was perfect to include the gazebo for shade and sitting and I like the gently sloping hill and the trees! Thank you whoever provided this special place for pups 🥰
Big park with grass and trees with a big gazebo. Grass has faded to dirt in some spots. Colored poles along the fence help to remember where your dog dropped presents to be cleaned up.
Small section set aside for small dogs.
Bags and trash but no water.
No dogs around on a Saturday afternoon …
