Etiquette when dog reacts

[Grumpylockeddownwoman]

So was at dog park today (one where dogs can run off lead). A puppy (but large breed so larger than my dog) jumped on mine - first time mine growled, second time, growled again - third time really did “react” didn’t bite or anything like that - but certainly barked and showed teeth.

I did put him on lead after second growl but the other owner just left her dog to jump on mine. I left the park - but am I unreasonable to think she should have put hers I lead. Two other dog owners left the park while the dog was running around.

@witch I think he already is getting bully tendencies - I was just talking to dh about it (he was with me), as we are planning on going to the park again this evening - but was saying maybe a different time. Dh said - “didn’t you notice everyone left - and when we walked back past it (it’s part of a larger park) it seemed to be larger breeds in there with him only.

Oh well - hopefully if we change our timing a bit won’t encounter them again.
