Jade, Odi and Crusher out in the dreaded DOG PARK!!

[DMikeM]

Oh no a dog park you say? LOL, it was a dog trainer event with 30 odd dogs. He invited me and my Boerboels out for a socialization session and things went very well. Not sure how you are supposed to post videos or pictures anymore but here is the You Tube link Socializing Boerboels with 30 strange dogs - YouTube

So looks like you can't edit your posts at all anymore either. Did this forum just get broken? Does this work? [video]https://youtu.be/sVmdf334oYg[/video]

Couldn't load the video.

How about this one? Socializing Boerboels end of class - YouTube

Great video Mike! Looks like they did have fun with a new experience. They look fantastic!

 

[DMikeM]

Thanks, I'm getting mostly negative feedback on the Facebook groups over this but I know they had fun and it helps with the socialization.

There is nothing wrong with a dog park if you have assessed the dogs in the park and feel comfortable that no one is being pushy/acting inappropriate. If your dog is well trained and has good recall and you are paying attention I think it is ok.

They are beautiful and thanks for posting the video. First time I see a "dog park"; I usually read a lot about them here (usually negatively) but never saw one.
I imagined something completely different.. LOL.

That's too bad because there is nothing but goodness going on there.

Great video Mike! Nice to see dogs socialising like this. Most of our dogs never get the chance to experience anything like that. You have some great looking dogs Mike!

That is some great video! Love the yard vibe!

 

[Hector]

That is insane and unheard of hahaha! That's cool. How big was the yard?

 

[DennasMom]

Awesome! The yard doesn't look huge... but big enough to provide space for dogs to move about and not get cornered.

I don't see anything at all in that video to warrant negative feedback. Even the reaction to the ankle biter was perfect (a confused look, and walked away).
Lots of appropriate play with some happy tail-waggin' goin' on! You've got AWESOME dogs, Mike!!

Glad you're back here, too... missed you! They "upgraded" the forum server about 6 months ago... and since then, we all have the problems you mentioned... I keep hoping it will get fixed, but so far, no luck.

 

[DMikeM]

Thanks everyone for the positive feedback. The area is a real dog park and is about 65x100 feet. Not bad for a few dogs. I did love the way Crusher dealt with the ankle biter dog too. It was like a little man in his face and he was WTH? Then Oh Well walk away. Really loved how happy Jade was, you could really see it in her face and the supernubbin waggle.

The packs looking good Mike.

 

[BAMCB]

Beautiful pups you have.

 

[glen]

Thanks for posting, great video, had to watch it twice lol.your pack is beautiful, and wow crusher as grown into a stunning young man, how old is he now,i can't see how you could get bad feed back from that but then some people just like to moan.

 

[DMikeM]

Crusher is 14 months and 155 lbs. Not sure if these images will show.
