• This is a dog park. Not all dogs are child-friendly! Never allow your child to approach or pet a strange dog without the owner’s presence and approval.
• Herding dogs may nip at children while attempting to round them up.
• A running, squealing or screaming child may attract dogs’ attention.
• Direct eye contact is confrontational to dogs. An interested child staring into a dog’s face may provoke a dog unintentionally.
• Never let your child have toys or food in the Dog Park. A friendly dog might knock down your child to get at a bright ball or cookie.
• One adult to supervise several children or an infant and the family dog is not sufficient to ensure everyone’s safety and control. Be sure you can take care of everyone you bring to the park.
• All dogs have the potential to bite.

The Health Risks:

• Children are most susceptible to contracting n intestinal worms and other infections from touching grass where feces or urine are present.
• Be sure your children (and you) always wear shoes in the Dog Park.
• Children can pick up fleas, lice or skin mites from infected dogs.

Keep Learning! Be a responsible dog owner.
Keep licenses and vaccinations up to date, spay or neuter your dog, train your dog in basic obedience, educate yourself about dog behavior (many books, magazines and websites are available), and join the organization that is supporting your site!!!!!!!

The Dog Park Is Not a Place For Your Child!
