Dog parks can be a positive place – that’s if people follow the rules
A dog park should be an open, neutral territory where your dog can play and run around off of his leash. He can get lots of exercise and play with other dogs that are well behaved. For your best friend, it’s a change of pace and a welcome change of scene. In order for this to work, owners need to follow park rules and keep a close eye on their pets. Unfortunately, this doesn’t always happen. In the worst case scenario, owners bring dogs that are not well socialized nor well behaved and then they’ll leave them unsupervised. Fights can break out and dogs can get badly hurt. A dog park can be a positive experience for you and your dog if the people who used them had everyone’s best interest at heart.
Remember, your pets count!
