My Basset, Geoffrey, was rescued from a puppy mill, where he was used as a stud. He has been very shy around many strange adults, though he seems to really like kids and other dogs. This week I took him to the dog park for the first time (the little dog section- he's a really small Basset.) First he just sniffed around, but within ten minutes he was running around like a madman, playing chase with the other dogs. I have never seen him so happy. Plus he was running up to the people at the park as well- Pet me, Pet me etc. I think the park will really help him with his confidence and adjusting to freedom.
I am very aware that there can be problems at dog parks- mostly people related. The small dog park seems a little safer for Geoff, and generally for the Basset personality.
