Gah.  At the dog park today there were lots of dogs, but one that would NOT leave Chompsky alone.  He kept trying to mount him, Chompsky kept letting the dog know that wasn’t cool, and the dog would keep trying, over and over.  Chompsky was getting frustrated: his warnings were becoming louder and longer.

Usually in these situations I call him over and make him sit for a treat, which both calms him down and makes the other dog wander away.  But this dog wouldn’t stop!  He would sit there and scratch Chompsky as he sat looking at me, over and over.  Chompsky would try to play with other dogs, and this dog would immediately be jumping on him.  We’d go to another area of the park, and he’d follow one step behind Chompsky.   

The worst part was there was no owner taking care of this dog!  There were a lot of dog walkers there, but nobody would claim this dog.  Eventually Chompsky and I cut out park visit short and left early, because we were both getting frustrated at how this one dog was picking on him.
