NE OHIO, anyone interested in "Yappy Hours" at Wolf Creek Winery?

Honestly, and I know it may sound strange, but I would just dive right into the situation and go from there. You don't and won't know how they'll act until you put them in the situation...up till then, it's all just speculation.

Tyson had ALOT of problems when we got him. He was an abused rescue, that if the shelter would've evaluated correctly, probably would've been put down for his food and medical aggression! His first few dog park experiences weren't very good...he'd growl and bark at certain people, got into a few dominance matches with other dogs, and for some reason, he likes to pester small dogs. So all this had us feeling like a-holes with the unruly dog in the park, but I swear, it didn't take long for him to learn his manners, and now he's a GREAT dog and usually well behaved at parks. There might be a scuffle every now and then, but that's gonna happen, and he listens to us when we tell him to knock it off. Usually, people will act wierd towards you anyway though, cause they always mistake boxer play for aggression. We've had that happen to us a few times, where the owner will take their dog home because Tyson wouldn't stop trying to play with it...haha

Apollo has such a sweet tempement, we took him to the park a week after we had him! lol He does great with all the dogs, but he doesn't listen too well in distracting situations like that...still working on that.
