POOCH Dog Park (or C-Bar-C Park)

We take our black lab her several times a week and she really enjoys it here. There are mini pools for the dogs, water buckets and lots of tennis balls for my dog to play with. Yes, I have seen several aggressive dogs here and when I see them I tend to just walk to the opposite side of the park. I'm not going to stop bringing my dog somewhere she loves just because of a few aggressive dogs. It's not just the dogs though there are several lazy owners who just sit in a chair and let there dog run free while they talk to others or listen to there ipod or talk on there phone. You dog is like your child and you must watch them while being in the park......this way you can also pick up there mess they make.

I used to take my dogs here all the time, but will never take my dogs to this park again -- it has been overrun by aggressive dogs and even more aggressive owners.   I have heard tales of numerous dogs being attacked, have witnessed several bad fights myself, and recently, my yellow lab was attacked by a very aggressive female pit/sharpei mix whose owner kept stating that the snarling was "just how Sassy sounds when she plays" and then proceeded to beat her dog with a leash and scream at it.   The woman and her dog managed to empty the park -- which happens all too frequently lately.  Its really a shame because the physical setting is one of, if not the, nicest in the Sac area, but it has really started to attract a strange group of owners.   Phoenix Park, nearby, is not nearly as physically appealing, but is  filled with  C Bar C "refugees" - people who want to be at a dog park for their dogs to have fun, not to get mauled.  The owners there self- police aggressive behavior, making for a more enjoyable and far safer experience.
