Before bringing your dog to an off-leash dog park for the first time, it’s highly recommended to visit the park beforehand, without your dog, to make sure you are comfortable bringing your dog to that particular park. (i.e. it isn’t overcrowded, the other owners appear attentive, etc.)
The following is a list of “Do’s and Don’ts” to follow when bringing your dog to an off-leash dog park:
Do:
If your dog shows any signs of aggression, call him over with a basic, upbeat command. Don’t yell at your pet, as this could trigger a fight.
Don’t:
When the proper precautions are taken, dog parks can be a safe and effective way for your dog to socialize, burn off excess energy, and most importantly, have fun!
