How do you feel if other owners grab your dog at the dog park?

If he grabs your dog like that get a picture. If he did it roughly I'd threaten to call the cops. If it was just holding the collar, I'd still be pretty pissed seeing as he didn't do anything wrong. Then point out to the man that grabbing a foreign dog and yelling can be seen as a very aggressive thing by the dog and if he got bit it would be only his fault. If he doesn't want his dogs playing with the other dogs he needs to take it home. I can't stand when owners pull this shit.

A few days ago I was at a dog park where there were lots of dogs (at least 15). One of them was a 1 year old unnaltered Great Dane puppy. His owner was completely new to dogs and had only had him about 2 months. This was their first park trip and she was extremely nervous.

The puppy was playing and jumping up on the other dogs (possibly trying to mount but I highly doubt it; we wasn't going at them from behind or grabbing them hard enough to keep them pinned or anything which he could have given his size) and one of the dogs snapped at him. The damn owner of the dog showed up and told the owner of the Great Dane "You need to keep your dog off mine or my dog will hurt him. He ain't going to take that shit. You're dog isn't neutered so he shouldn't be here anyway!" I seriously wanted to shake this woman and ask her what the hell was wrong with her. She was defending her AGGRESSIVE dog against a playful PUPPY.

Then myself and 3 other owners had to talk to the puppy owner who grabbed her dog and was about to run out to convince her that neutering at all was her choice, that it was indeed too soon to neuter this STILL GROWING puppy, that there was no rule against unaltered dogs, that neutering her dog would not affect his behavior because humping is not always sexual especially at that age, and that her dog was acting completely normally. Then we had a man with a very tolerant dog allow the Great Dane to try to jump up on his dog. After 10-15 minutes of the Dane jumping up and being pushed down and barked at (not aggressively just a back off bark) he completely stopped jumping on the other dogs. People need to realize puppies need these learning opportunities. We all also tried to talk to the woman with the aggressive dog but she wouldn't have it.
