Great little dog park in Kingman gives my wild Husky a chance to get his romp in on the way through. I've seen the same cowboy A-hole, strapped with bilateral pistols and a bad attitude cause immediate evacuation of all other dogs and owners from the park because he starts his loudmouth MAGA sermon as soon as his mangy pups are loose. Oh, and always with the obligatory cigarette lit right by the "no smoking" signs.
Just sheer bad luck on the timing. I use the separate area unofficially reserved for sort of unpredictable pups like my Tiago. He's soooo much an Alpha it limits the socialization aspect. Loves people with a passion but if he gets inkling of a dominance challenge... uh-oh.
I'm near retirement and Tiago is unusually protective of me as Huskys go. Once actual "that's it, done with work" swings around soon, he'll get carefully and long-process matched with a smaller mate to guard.
