Sure, dog parks are great for human socialising (just think of the potential for 101 Dalmatians-style-meet-cutes!), but try not to get so caught up in conversation with the other dog moms and dads that you take your eyes off the pups.
"People enjoy chatting at dog parks, but you still need to pay attention to what's going on with the dogs," explained Tori.
For example, if your dog's starting to snarl or holding their tail between their legs, it could indicate that they're feeling particularly aggressive or nervous. Keep an eye out for these signs before the situation escalates.
