More Dogs in Peckham Rye Park

[curlykaren]

the sign, no dogs, means in the oval fenced off flower beds, NOT the area in general. If you remain confused on this point it is probably best to ask one of the many gardeners?

[the-e-dealer]

there was one family with a dog picnicking in there and two loose dogs. that is just to be clear in the fenced off flower bed

[the-e-dealer]

pic of one dog and the family concerned

[jumpinjackflash]

As long as you pick up the dog's crap and keep the mad ones on a leash I see no reason why dogs should not be allowed in certain park areas.

[puzzled]

i am sorry to hear from the e-dealer. he/she/it is just another anti-dog pillock and there are too many already

[the-e-dealer]

i am anti dog owning pillocks yes.

[curlykaren]

that pic seems pretty clear, you are quite right, the dog is somewhere it shouldn't be, not quite sure why the owners would have to picnic there when there is so much other space available to them?

[the-e-dealer]

and there's always one puzzled who cant win the argument so resorts to abuse. Wonder where he/she was schooled

[Cam123]

I think e-dealer that perhaps abuse was resorted to out of sheer amazement at you taking pics of a "no dogs" sign and a lab trotting about, seemingly doing no harm whatsoever.

I entirely agree that dogs should not be allowed to damage that area in any way; the planting is really beautiful and well done, and so it makes sense to have the sign there. But lets not go overboard - the dogs weren't harming any of the displays were they?

Also, the chap that you pulled up for having his dog on his lead, am I right in thinking that he was walking his dog, on a very dog-friendly, dog-centric day, on a path, next to a flowerbed with a no dogs sign, and you thought it necessary to give him a lecture?

[the-e-dealer]

No ON a flower bed with a no dog sign. Pictures supplied as some doubted the sign existed. And I didn't lecture anyone. Just pointed out that there was a sign saying no dogs. And he left the bed so all in all a happy encounter with a dog owner.

[Cam123]

Fair enough. Seems a bit weird to walk your dog over the little fence and into the flowerbed area, sign or no sign.

[the-e-dealer]

There were three dogs one with a family picnicking there! And yes I think they are a bit weird as I said I cant understand why a seemingly nice family group should do that.

[mrfish]

I am a dog owner and regularly walk my dog in peckham rye park. There are areas that simply say dogs must remain on a lead. The oval garden refered to hear is out of bounds for humans as well otherwise thare would not be a fence. Some people have no respect, its that simple. Dogs can't read and its owners resposibility to manage their own dog.

I was there too on Sat opp. the garden and the group with my dogs letting them into the pond to get cool. Them having been pulled away from sausages/floating dalmations/getting told off for knocking over beer/not winning prizes/in and out of dog-ring in 25 degree heat and not allowed to eat their and others' goodies.

Aforementioned group had a really over-friendly dog who kept knicking our ball, and humping my little dog. But hey! They're dogs. When the sun is out, let play commence!! No-one was hurt. After a while, 2 more black labs came to join in. Loads of fun and laughter. Not sure when anti-dog 'investigative' photographer turned up. Thankfully, we'd gone.

So there we have it. Just proves that some dog owners are in that elite group who think that rules and laws dont apply to them.Just to everyone else. Like Looting Rioters, Speeding Offenders and Drink Drivers. I guess we have to get used to the elite!

Looting Rioters, Speeding Offenders and Drink Drivers injure people and can cause death...Joey the Jack Russell running about and trampling on the dandelions does not..

[the-e-dealer]

Er I think some Dogs do cause death. Like Rioters and Drinkers and Speeders they often don't cause death. But thats not why the the Rules / Lawa are there. A lot of Money was spent on tidying up the Park and we should just respect the parts that are 'protected' by signs

[the-e-dealer]

Just one Example http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/merseyside/8386023.stm

[jumpinjackflash]

Dangerous vicious dogs yes but we're talking about dogs trampling about on flowerbeds!!

[the-e-dealer]

Ok what about people who illegally park , Pee in the Street, Blow their horns at 4 am. All antisocial all breaking rules and NOT killing anyone. Not paying fares on trains no TV license? are they ok 'just having a bit of fun'? exempt' Which rules/ laws is it ok to break? I'd just like the Dog owners who think it IS ok to break laws to tell me which ones it is ok to break.

I used to Like to Smoke with my Pint in the Pub - Can I do that? (Should I restart smoking!)

[the-e-dealer]

Id like to say Funnily enough - but I wont its not fully just found this - Dogs DO attack kids in Parks

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1263932/Girl-4-attacked-police-dog-plays-park.html

But I don't believe in banning dogs. But I'd like dog owners to show some respect for the park and other people by sticking to the rules - its not that hard is it?

Maybe the Dog License should be brought back so there was some sort of sanction of anti social dog owners.
