WHAT TO DO IF YOU ENCOUNTER AN AGGRESSIVE DOG
Politely remind the owner/handler to get control of their dog through voice command or by leashing it to change the aggressive behavior.
If the owner/handler ignores your request, warn them to separate their dog from the other dogs and stop the aggressive behavior or they will have to leave the park. Remind them of the posted park rule about aggressive dogs.
If the aggressive behavior continues after the dog has been given a "time out" ask the owner/handler to leash the dog and remove it from the park area immediately.
If the owner/handler of an aggressive dog refuses to leave the park, please call Animal Control Officer Jennifer Abalan at 844-5335 in Granby and report the incident. If there is a D.O.G.G.S. volunteer in the park at the time, first report the incident to her/him. If no volunteer is present, when you get home, please email us about the incident so that we can record it in our park activity log.
Repeated incidents of aggression within the park will be recorded and repeat offenders will be banned from bringing their dog into the off-leash park.
Animal Control will also be alerted to repeated offenses of a non-compliant dog owner by D.O.G.G.S. Non-compliant owners could be subject to fines.
