If it was as you stated the only real way to deal with people like that is to just ignore them. Easier said then done.
But based on their demeanor probably not much more you could have done other then calling the park or host to resolve it.
Trust me, I'm not a confrontational guy at all and I tend to avoid these types of situations, that's why I stayed away from the guy at the other end of the doggy section. When you yell at me and accuse me of doing something wrong that I'm NOT doing wrong, all with an annoyed tone then there's going to be a problem.
The story I presented is just about the way it went down, word for word. I was walking my dog peacefully and trying to maintain my distance about as far away as possible in the doggy section but that wasn't good enough for him and he wanted me to move and asked in an annoyed tone. Why did I have to go somewhere else? Why couldn't he pick up his pup and go somewhere else?
He was the one with the loud tone, he's the one that walked up to my face from 150' away and he's the one who ventured into our site, to our picnic table and threatened to bring his other dog there.
I was simply standing up for myself and stating the facts in a cool manner for the most part. I never yelled, I never cursed, I never threatened him and I never violated his space or site.

Don't blame the dog for the handler not being able to control the situation!!!
OK, I should have stated "ban all PEOPLE with dogs".

He came up because I wasn't responding and even said so. Sure, I could have just walked away but my dog had to pee as well and I was tired and going to bed as soon as we got back.
Normally I would have walked away but this guy just rubbed me the wrong way.

And the guy obviously didn't know JACK about training a puppy. You take them out (to the SAME spot they've been going to all day long) stand like a tree, no eye contact, no playing with puppy for no more than 5 minutes. If puppy doesn't go then it's back inside & in their crate (he DID have a crate I'm hoping!) for 30 minutes.
Rinse & repeat until puppy goes. However long it takes. You DON'T stand outside and cajole, beg, and carry on a conversation with Puppy. If Puppy was THAT distracted by another dog 150' away, Puppy didn't need to go that bad.

cm, you were not wrong. if ya read my post, HE started the confrontation. point blank by annoying tone, calling out to you and then coming to you to take this further.
HE could have turned back and trained pup in another direction.
so more him than you.....but you are not totally off the hook, cause if the initial tone got YOU mad and the fur on the back of your neck up----YOU then have the upper hand. Leave the situation and NOTHING would have happened after that.
not one of us on this planet wants to back down ๐
but the whole situation in general was stupid to be taken that far by BOTH of you. he started it, sure, you could have ended it SO FAST. but you took a different road.
now you live with the consequences of your actions to someone else's.
it was not life or death. protecting your family. not a real dire confrontation.
pick your battles and this one didn't have to come this far at all.
did he do wrong. absolutely, but sometimes ya gotta give people a break for being a pain in the azz and stupidity ๐
True, but if I just walked away then I would have just been pissed at myself for bowing down to the jerk. I pick and choose my battles and this was one I selected. ๐
