 | |  | | If the small dog section turns out to consistently have mostly dogs closer to Bunny's size, and Princesse air-snaps at dogs that come close to her, I wouldn't think she's the best candidate for the dog park. I've seen dogs get hurt accidentally, playing with much bigger dogs. Not because either the big dogs or the small dogs did anything wrong, but simply because the big dog stumbled and accidentally stepped on the smaller dog.
There might, though, be other tiny-dog owners who'd be interested in using the small dog section of the park for a scheduled playtime. Work out an agreed time with people whose dogs are, say, twelve pounds or under, and Princesse could get to have playtime at the dog park, and get more practice being around other dogs. If she gets more comfortable interacting with other dogs, then she might do just fine playing even when the 20-pounders are there. |  |  | |  |

Not to mention that she snaps at dogs that get in her face. She doesn't bite, just airs snaps. Would that qualify her as agressive?
There was a mini poodle there for a bit as well, but her owners were babying her and overprotecting her. They picked her up every time she looked uncomfortable, till someone said let her down and get used to things , or at least that is what Ceasar would say ( they really said that
) As controversial as he can be, I thought that was probably good advice . I suspect she won't be back though
I kept her on my lap for awhile , then put her down. There was just one dog that wouldn't leave her alone and she just backed away and didn't even snap. I think she liked the 2 pugs best, because they didnt get in her face.
