"We got our dog about 6 months ago. We took him from the previous owner because he was neglected and mistreated. \nWe know he's at least part Shepard but what else, we're not sure. He's about 3 years old.\nSince we've got him, I walk him and take him to the dog park regularly with no issues. 2 weeks ago or so we were walking and there was another dog so my dog went to go sniff him and the dog bite my dogs nose and had my dogs head pinned to the ground. I separated the dogs and saw that my dogs nose had a cut on it from the other dog. I stopped taking him to the dog park because he plays with the other dogs and I don't want him to get him nose hit and react aggressively cause it hurts him. I just figured I'll take him back to the dog park once the wound heals.\nNow, when i take my dog for a walk, he barks at other dogs. I feel the barking is aggressive. I understand he's on the defense because of what happened but I'm scared to even take him back to the dog park because he just seems.... I think aggressive is a bit of a harsh word but he's not acting like his friendly self now.\nI was told to take him the dog park where he's familiar with the people and the dogs (it's usually the same people there every morning) but I would hate for him to growl or snap at another dog and I especially wouldn't want to take him if he is gonna be a jerk and hurt another dog. Can someone please give me some advice on how to deal with this. Now that his nose is healed, do I just take him back to be socialized and hope nothing happens??"
