Please--be a responsible dog owner. DO NOT bring dogs to dog parks that have aggression issues. A dog park is NOT the place to work on them! Small dogs are especially vulnerable to attacks by agressive dogs. Work out aggression issues with a professional trainer. If you have a small dog--stick to parks that provide a separate area for smaller breed dogs. Small dogs and large dogs don't always mix. Personally, I no longer bring my small dogs to parks that do not have separate areas for small and large dogs. A friend of mine lost her beloved Yorkie this year after a large dog attacked it in a local dog park. This particular park has no separate area for small dogs. Unexpected attacks can happen -- read my post on Jilli Dog. I myself lost a small Yorkie after a large stray came into our yard and attacked him. It was devastating for my family.
In my opinion, mixing small breed dogs with large dogs is just not worth the risk. It is a tragedy waiting to happen. Be wise and be safe--you can still and have fun!
