The owner kind of makes a weak attempt to seem like they’re trying, but if I weren’t there, they wouldn’t intervene at all. I’m asking because I want to make sure that I don’t over react next time.

Either that or talk to other owners at the park about collectively shunning the problematic owner. It sounds harsh but I’ve seen this work and it’s preferable to giving up a beloved community hangout just because of one asshole.

My goodness me.

“Talk to all the other people at the park and turn them against one other person in order to avoid an awkward conversation with said person”.

If someone at the park told me to avoid some other person because their dog is a humper I world tell them to grow up.

I’m assuming OP has already asked the problem owner to stop and they are refusing to control their dog properly. Obviously talking to them comes first.

You could take photos of the dog humping your dog and make posters & flyers warning everyone.

Better yet, you could post to your local “mother’s chat” Facebook group and let them resolve it
