There was an incident this evening not involving my dog but some others. I immediately yelled grab them by the back of the legs and pull them apart. This seemed to work but one of the human handlers of the aggressive dog didn’t listen and got bit.

I know dog parks can be a polarizing subject for some owners but just wondering if anyone else has any tips.

FYI - I don’t think either of the dogs got hurt
