Ahh! Here we go. Something other than fetch happened in the park! That still leaves the question of whether your activities outside the animal conflict were anything besides fetch and how those activities contribute to some articulable training regimen. The conflict changes the entire thing and it is relevant! Now someone has to answer the question about why your dog is not on a leash to the other dog owner. In my other comment, I spoke about fleshing this out some. That is what they need. Secondly, yeah path of least resistance is to not step up for you, report the call, and go through the motions. What incentive do they have to step up for you? How do they sell it to the other dog owner? After considerable, and entertaining by the way, discussion how your game is differentiated from any game of fetch remains unclear. In my view, this is likely the primary reason it went the way it did for you. That officer needed a clear, compelling reason to step up in your favor. Did not have it. I don't and have been looking for it, again as a general exercise. Nothing personal here man. Just found how this played out interesting.
