There is NO way I would take my dog to a dog park!! There's no way to predict how any dog is going to behave #1 Also it's a breeding bed for diseases #2

"Havoc?!? Why? Because he's blk??" 🥴 I am weak!!!

I wouldn't take my dog back to the big dog park. I think the plaintiff is taking a risk of further incidents happening by continuing to go to the big dog park regardless of whether or not there are pit bulls in the big dog park.

"A pitbull named Hitler and a poodle named Fluffy. And that was pretty much written before they walked in." I'm dead. I almost fell off my chair.

Did the plaintiff just clone himself to make a witness? That is uncanny

He’s lucky the plaintiff didn’t sue him for his own medical bills.

What do you know! Ain't nobody here yet?! Where's everybody this Monday morning? Oh. I forgot we all have to work.

Silly to relate the name of the dog to the temperament of the dog. Most dogs are named as puppies.

The name matters, not because of any effect it could have on the dog, but because it tells you a lot about the kind of owner and how the dog may be trained and treated.

JM has done so many cases on dog attacks and about 85% of them are because people are taking their dogs to dog parks. I will never understand that. We aren’t talking about children on a playground. These are animals that still have animal instincts. Even if well trained, you cannot predict animal attacks.

My son had a mixed hound and named him Havok. Plain and simple. That dog was an angel with a heart of gold.

Dog parks are dangerous. If you are going to go to them take the time to really learn canine body language and learn how to break up a dog fight. No one there had a clue.

The nerve of the defendant of saying anything about “harassment”. Stfu and pay the man like you should have before being taken to court. What a jackass

My pit bull got jumped by two micro bullies and I’m telling you it’s the most traumatic thing ever! Especially when you can’t stop it. It’s so heartbreaking you feel inadequate to your dog cause you couldn’t protect him.

Dog owners are always trying to minimize their responsibility when their dog’s involved in a fight. - Also, the defendant wanted to punch Doug at the end. - Also, nobody in that crowd agreed with Harvey at the end.

Owning Pitt Bulls is such an unnecessary financial risk/liability.

So if I name my pitbull, Angel the judge can take her name into consideration if she attacks someone? Harvey asks the dumbest questions.

I cannot believe the plaintiff said to Doug, that if the defendant would’ve said sorry, he would’ve walked away and not gone after him. I wonder if he really would’ve done that, I mean he didn’t sue for his medical bills, so maybe it’s true. Defendant wasn’t taught that kindness goes a long ways.

Why is always a Pitbull, i have one, Tyson, he is just loving and awesome! 🤦‍♀️ I don’t go to parks because its always drama!

Dude didn’t even apologize. Just had excuses

This is tough because the plaintiff has no business in the big dog park with his small dog. Most parks have a rule that you can enter with a small dog but that you enter at your own risk. This is because many large dogs have a prey drive that is triggered by running small dogs. Large dogs should have the opportunity to go to their own park to have fun without owners worrying about small dogs coming in. I know a lot of small dog owners like to go in the big dog park to get attention and show off their small dogs but you need to focus more on what is safe for your dog and not getting attention.

Do not take your dog to the dog park. Your dog can get hurt or killed.

It seems to me that if you take your dog to a dog park, you're just asking for an issue.

To bad this case wasn't taken before judge judy .

Harvey you’re slowly losing it. The judge should never consider the name! That’s silly!

But judge I shouldn't have to pay for the vet bill, because he drove his car on my street.

0:40 Pit Bull, it was at this point he lost the case!

I think dog parks are unfortunately a bad place to take your dog to. Its a travesty waiting to happen....

Pitbull Whisperer 😂😂😂😂😂

Dogs are usually named as puppies, maybe they raised it to match its name.

Why would anybody with a Pit take it to a dog park you may as well tattoo on your forehead "I'm an idiot sue me"

At the end..."the name doesn't mean anything and it could mean a lot of stuff." 😂😅

I have never had a good experience at a dog park. I pay the extra money and put my boy (a rescue pit) in doggy daycare where certified trainers are facilitating the socialization. It costs a pretty penny but it’s worth it.

If man really had a threat via voicemail that would’ve been the first thing he showed to the judge

It seems the Plaintiff does hold Some responsibility for bringing his small dog into the large dog area.

The “use at your own risk” guideline applies to all users. Which means the plaintiff knew the risk he was taking bringing the dog to the big park. He’s reckless half responsible. Especially after he claimed the defendants dog had shown signs of aggression before the incident.

Every bully owner claims they are gentle, loving, and friendly and only get aggressive when provoked.

He should have said he was named after the Xman, Havok, because he wears all black lol

Just for anyone who might be confronted with this situation in the future, if a pit bull or any other dog locks onto you or your dog, if you have a bottle of water, open it and shove the open end in the dog's mouth, take your fingers and push them in the dog's nostril's to block them and then squeeze the water bottle. The dog will start to choke and immediately let go. The instinct to avoid choking to death is greater than the desire to attack. A big game hunter in the 1930's actually saved his own life when he was jumped in a surprise attack by a leopard. As the leopard was attacking him he shoved his hand in it's mouth and down it's throat and held on for dear life. The leopard immediately gave up it's attack and tried to escape. The man held on until the leopard choked to death. I'm sure the man was injured but he did survive. I read this story years ago in National Geographic. I don't remember the man's name but he was legendary enough to have a story written about him. Many attacks happen so fast there is nothing you can do, but in this case they had time.

I never go to dog parks anymore, most owners are clueless at how to read their dogs body language or how to direct a dog to deescalate.

The plaintiff chooses to take his small dog to the big dog park. He should be 50% responsible, in my opinion. People name their dogs when they are puppies. Marilyn & Harvey 🤪 🤪

A dog name shouldn't be considered in a ruling. If a name like Havoc makes you think the dog causes turmoil then a name like "Falcon" should also make you feel like the dog spread wings and flew away.

So wait, the plaintiff not only brought his small dog in with the big dogs, but he ALSO weeks before saw the dog being aggressive and brought his dog in there anyways??? Like wow the stupidity

I feel it a mindset of the owner when naming the dog and probably will be trained as such

Since the dog color is BLACK he was named HAVOC. wtf?

The plaintiff should have sued for HIS OWN pain and suffering from when the dog bit him. IMO there’s equal liability if you’re dumb enough to endanger your taking your dog to a dog park. I would never, EVER subject my dog to that.

I don't do dog parks, only daycare

we saw an ad in the paper listing "Jack Rusell terrorist puppies for sale" That's why they like playing with the big dogs.

The dog name was havoc with dedication to mobb deep we miss prodigy

THE DEFENDANT IS A BUM WON'T TAKE LIABILITY NOT ACCOUNTABILITY FOR HIS LACK OF ACTION WHEN IT CAME TO HIS VICIOUS DOG. I HAYE WHEN THE DEFENDANT SCREAMS THAT THEY WERE / FELT HARASSED HOW ABT PAYING UP THEN YOU WOULDN'T HAVE THAT PROBLEM. GLAD THE PLAINTIFF HAD ALL THE EVIDENCE PHOTOS OF THE RULES & WITNESS. NOW PAY UP INTEREST SHOULD BE AUTOMATIC WHEN IT'S CLEAR THAT PAYMENT SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN W/ HELD. GOOD CALL

Nooooooooooo Harvey. That’s like saying you SA people because you’re name is HARVEY.

I disagree, if a dog is named at birth, how can you know what's the dog's behavior, it would have more to do with how the dog is raised.

Yes i'm about to named for a reason that meets with your personality. But not all the time. My nephew named his dog Havoc when he first got him, which was at 8 wks old. And his dog is a Golden Retriever, Not a pit bull not a shepherd not a rottweiler. He named him that because he liked the name. It was from a video game he played. So sometimes a dog gets a name simply because the owner likes the name.

There should be no territory to defend in a dog park.

I believe it’s incredibly irresponsible to take a small dog into the large dog park. They have two parks because some large dogs are triggered by small dogs. That said, it was a great judgment!

People (like the defendant) want a Pit., And never take the dog to get trained! Discipline to him is to "Punch" the dog.

Pit bull's owners act & look like their vicious pit bull. Same category suitable for each other.

First liked & Commented! WE LOVE ❤ YOU JUDGE MILI!

You shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, nor a dog by it's name. As a former mail carrier, even little Chihuahuas can do a lot of damage.

Naming the dog Havoc reminds me if the Mortal Kombat character Havik

Not even gonna lie. Antonio is hella fine.

That defendant is an embarrassment to dog owners. Pathetic

Anyone else curious about Bruce? I mean, standing there holding the dog's mouth open for how long? Watching everyone drive away...'Um, guys? Someone? Anyone? Could use a little help here!'

Typical another pittbull attack....SMH

I just love how the judge always seems to pronounce Hispanic names in Spanish. Just reading the name triggers her Español.

I'm a professional dog trainer. Don't take your dog to a dog park. Period.

After watching the intro alone I will say that the defendants dog could not have been defending its territory because even if the dog thought it was it's territory it's not since it's a public dog park. However, because it is a public dog park, unless there were signs saying you were not allowed to unleash your animals, Dog parts are typically made in such a way that you are meant to be able to do that. That being the case, it was the risk the plaintiff took when he decided to go to the dog park. If the defendant goes to the dog park again with his dog that he knows has viciously attacked a dog in the past then he would definitely be responsible but if this is the first time his dog has attacked another dog It's just the risk you take.

its almost always a pitbull. Why do people keep these dogs

Defendant has no self awareness

If your dog matters to you never inflict a dog park on it.

Wrong decision. The plaintiff went into wrong park. His own liability. The plaintiff also mentioned previously interacting with havoc or his owner and thus knew better not to approach. He shouldve lifted his dog and left the park. Equal share in vet bills or plaintiff pays ALL.

Like Judge Milian says ITS ALWAYS THE PITBULLS

B.S. on the dogs name having anything to do with his aggression, unless we are insinuating that the dog was raised to be aggressive. My dog's name is Max, MadMax. He loves to chase squirrels.But he doesn't know what to do with a cat that just sits there in back yard. The cat has obviously been raised around dogs. This guy, however, knew that he had an aggressive pit bull and never should've had him at at park, especially off leash. And he still got off cheap because of the $3K max. And you can tell by the defendant's attitude that he's going to keep taking his aggressive animal back out there.

We rescued a black female cat n I called her Lucifer she can live up to her name too lol(we thought she was a male cat when we got her but decided to keep the name after we'd already named her) my last cat was called Salem and he was a sod too🤣🤣 since we're in the season....happy Halloween y'all

I avoid dog parks like the plague. I’m stressed the entire time so I just don’t do it anymore.

As a dog owner I find the plaintiff to be an asshole. He should've kept his small dog in the small dog area. I get that its not a rule that they must but there's a safety component to why they have two separate parks. I would've only found the defendant partly liable.

The dude brings his jacket Russel terrier in the big dog park looking for pit Bull… all dog owners should be on the lookout for a guy like that this… and a park like this- steer clear!!!

He shoulda sue for medical bills

This guy had a whole briefcase and didnt show one paper for his defense!!😮😮😮😂

Bill Goldberg suing Bad News Brown? Just settle this in the ring gentlemen

names mean nothing sometimes. my step-mother's dog's name was Biggie. he was the smallest dog ever. Their white and gray cat was named naomi. 😆

There's nothing more ridiculous than an arrogant dog owner who takes their little dog into a big dog park. You always have to assume there will be a few aggressive dogs and it's so unfair to your little dog when they have no possible way of defending themselves against big dogs. Shame on the Plaintiff!! I was bitten by a small dog in a large dog park and went through torture. The dog owner watched me get attacked and did nothing. Small dog owners can be just as big of idiots as big dog owners. Unfortunately, JM isn't smart about dog behavior. If this was Judge Judy the Plaintiff would have lost. He should not have a dog at all.

Dogs get their names as puppies and in no way contribute to their behavior.

I would never take my dog to a dog park.

Why does what people name their dog matter? It’s their dog not yours. Smfh ain’t no one coming to you asking and judging the name you gave to your kids 🙄 Swear this judge is a pain sometimes.

"I take full responsibility"...but I'm gonna hide like a coward.

I know many people try to defend pit bulls but for some reason they can never answer why 90% or more of these cases are always pitbull dog attacks. I am getting tired of hearing the same excuse for people save their pitbull is super friendly and loves everybody but somehow ended up killing someone's dog or attacking some person at random. I even remember one defendant saying that the 9-year-old boy who obviously saw the dog from a distance as he approached came up behind the dog to scare him after the dog and the owner had passed. The lies people have to say to defend the breed is just ridiculous. If a car had brake failure problems at a percentage rate higher than other vehicles the same way. Pitbulls have an attack rate higher than other dogs. Everybody would label that car as a dangerous car and would not drive it.

I'm surprised there was no questioning about incidents with the Jack Russell terriers. Those are aggressive dogs also.

I used to bring my GSD to the dog park but not anymore. One day guy had his unneutered pitbull (not allowed btw) going after female dogs and pissing them off and challenging the males, and suddenly boom. Massive fight with multiple dogs. My GSD was laying down under a tree and a Husky and another large dog charged him, and my dog went to defend himself. That was the last time. And there was just a lot of weirdos there, including a weirdo perv.

That's why I don't take my dog to a dog park!

Complete waste of oxygen

They should name poodles Havoc

You name a dog when they are puppies. He was probanly full of piss and vinegar.

Ugh! Harvey should change his name to Annoying.

We named our puppy Cody, I wanted Bandit because his face markings look like he is wearing a mask. Both Bandit and Havoc would suit his personality, he is always stealing things or running around like a madman.

I can't agree with the naming being a piece of evidence. It sounded to me like the defendant was starting to talk about the cryptid stories of the black dog being an omen for death, but thought better of it and stopped, but it could have just been a cool offhanded reference to a very commonly known cryptid myth and the name doesn't MEAN the dog is vicious. My cats name is Shazam. He doesn't turn into a super hero when I yell his name. I named my other cat Arora and she is certainly no princess... shes' the queen of chaos and destruction. There are plenty of times people name their animals things that just don't come off great in this type of situation, but doesn't necessarily mean all dogs named "Havoc" or "Killer" are named that because of personality traits. Naming a little tiny teacup poodle "killer" is actually kind of funny and ironic enough people would do it.

It’s the plaintiffs fault! He had no business going into the large dog area! There a reason the park has the area separate.

Everyone knows small dogs are usually the instigators. If u have dog parks that separate big and little dogs, why the hell would u bring a little dog into a big dog park

Dog parks are not horrible places. Just be smart because you can tell when dogs are pissed at other dogs for the most part. Also, everyone that goes to a dog park should invest in an air horn. It will break up a dog fight in .2 seconds.

I never had to utilize this technique but i heard a way to get a pit (or i guess dog in general) to release is to grab them by the scruff of the neck and pull. You'll cause it to choke and it will release to breathe. Is that true or was i mislead.
