8 week old puppy at dog park?
Our park has a post that disallows entry to dogs younger than 6 months. Maybe your park can post something similar? I see the same type of behavior when someone brings a baby like that. Usually it is a younger person who means well but just doesn't realize the risks. I don't think it would have been out of line for you to pull her aside and talk with her, maybe tell her that you know she means well but it really isn't in the pup's best interests. How scared they must be on top of it, with all of the dogs hovering over them and displaying dominant behaviors. It was nice of you to leave but you shouldn't have had to deal with this in the first place. It's so hard when your dog behaves in this normal way and pesters the little thing, or worse, tries to show dominance by getting too pushy. I've had this happen to me too and it's so embarrassing, though not your fault. It sounds like the girl is in over her head, I hope someone in her life can intervene before things get bad...maybe you'll see her again and can befriend her and help her out:)
