This absolutely makes me furious, and heartsick. The federal officer, by keeping his dog leashed, broke a cardinal rule of dog parks. You don't do that.
My Belgians play hard and I know the difference between play and aggression. I also know how to manage my dogs, who are always under control and command when we are out and about. Sibes are an amazing breed; I've taken my Belgians carting with local Sibes and everyone gets along great.
People do NOT understand dog behavior. There are a lot of false beliefs being circulated.
My six month old Belgian Tervuren puppy was attacked by a full grown Rottweiler. Both dogs were leashed. The Rottie broke away from his owner. It took four adults to separate the dogs. During the entire altercation, no one screamed or yelled at the dogs.
Why? Because it would have incited the dogs to fight harder. It is a very difficult thing to do, since it is instinct to scream and yell. That is the worst thing you can do.
