Almost the entire park to use for her dogs and this (German accent?) woman at 9am for Park Run point blank refused to remove them, stating she has poo bags.

Very identifiable pink beanie, Alsatian and Spaniel.

Told me I must be menopausal to care so much.

Sitting right in front of the NO DOGS sign.

This is not unusual.   The entire park is full of dogs off the lead   so when people try to be responsible dog owners and exercise their dogs on the lead it is totally impossible.  As the other dogs constantly run up to, bark and irritate the dogs on the leads and stupid owners don't do anything to prevent them.  I thought people who live in Dulwich might have been able to read, understand and follow simple signs with words and pictorial instructions.  But they obviously can not.   The rules are there for a reason but obviously do not apply to when it suits people.

I wonder would people be able to understand any warning signs about 🐺🐺🐺

The people with free running dogs are always the first to complain when a dog on a lead barks back at their precious dog.  Especially when the dog on the lead is a large dog.  The poor dog  was literally minding their own business walking along whilst the other dogs take turns to ambush them.   So the wolves could be a brilliant idea.   As these dogs could jump into ambush the wolves.  And then well behaved dogs on a leash and responsible dog ( or those who can understand text and pictorial information) owners could walk along in peace.   And also enjoy the local public parks.

Surely the No Dogs sign should be very very large at the entrance?

It's a bit pointless having it once you've taken the dog/s in there?

You should not be taking dogs in there. Same as not taking them across the bridge - now closed - as they can scare whatever little widlife is trying to survive in the park. The 'no dog' signs are there and visible and the area has closed gates. Not all people like dogs, many have bad experience and are scared of them. 'My dog can do no wrong' attitude is rather tiring

LOL up the  Victor Meldrew /.  Some of us ain't that old yet.  But would really like to enjoy our daily constitutionals without other people's unleashed unruly animals spoiling our right to be responsible citizens who abide by the blinking signs.   It really does spoil things for others.   And shows no consideration for others.

I just think some owners are a bit dippy, they aren't aware that dogs cause a lot of issues for wildlife. Ground nest birds will abandon their young, foxes and badgers will abandon their dens, rats and mice will relocate into people's gardens and houses, squirrels and birds typically avoid dog heavy areas too.

There are a lot of parks in the area that allow for unleashed dogs, so it really makes no sense to ruin the lives of other animals because the owner simply cannot be arsed.

Ah I was thinking of the shrubbery area near the Huf houses ! No if you mean the fenced off area near the cafe then 🙄 that’s just totally unreasonable.

You're being very magnanimous, and I was too, politely explaining it's a fenced off area for the squirrels and children. Instead of apologising and taking the dogs out, she told me she wouldn't move, and started insulting me.

 

The story ended when I opened the gate and let her dogs out. They didn't even want to be in there anyway.

Brilliant way to deal with a ignorant individual.   LOL.  The sign is quite simple a 3 year old could understand it.  The fact is she shouldn't have been in there in the first place.   I have dogs and live them dearly. Not everyone likes dogs.  I don't like everyone else's dogs running around me and off the lead barking and running at my dogs who are on their lead.

The sign is low enough for dogs to read it too!

Had to google that reference as not old enough to get it. 

I don’t find any particular humour in people thinking they (and their dogs) are above the rules.

But I also understand that plenty of people are also deeply afraid of calling out any antisocial behaviour.

    • It happened again tonight. This time a group of kids ( I hate saying that, because it makes them sound less intimidating than they are), threatened to throw a water bomb at me. When I dared them, they started lobbing them. Then they started saying they were going to kill my dog and one of them jumped over the fence of the Japanese Garden and took a running kick at my dog, who got out of the way. He jumped back over the fence, then came back, came within a meter of me and threw a water bomb really hard at me.  I can't be sure it was exactly the same crowd as last time, though I suspect the male ring leader could be.  The police came and were amazing - as was the park warden - and are fairly confident of the identity of one of them and think they may have tried to arrest him before.  There were maybe as many as 15 of them, aged 16-18, all Caucasian, girls and boys (girls being just as aggressive as the boys). The ring leader is a slight man, dark hair / eyes, possibly with facial hair about 5'6", petite, wearing an all-blue tracksuit.  So please be careful when you're in the park around 6.30 / 7pm. The local SNT have been informed.

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did!
    • But it was under our electoral system in 2019! This must be part of the right-wing media conspiracy that did for Corbyn....;-) Corbyn was very closely allied to Unite and Len....
