Guidelines
Before You Go to a Dog Park
-
Make your first visit without your dog. Familiarize yourself with how the area works and its posted rules.
-
Not all dogs like meeting new dogs. If your dog has not regularly interacted with other dogs, find out how he will react before forcing him to meet lots of unfamiliar dogs. Invite a few mellow dogs over to your friend’s big yard to play.
-
Check for obedience schools that offer socialization classes for adult dogs or enroll in doggie daycare.
-
Be sure to socialize puppies (8-16 weeks of age) at a puppy kindergarten class. Early socialization is one of the most important things you will ever do for your dog!
-
The first few times you take your dog to a site, choose a time that is not busy. Weekday evenings are peak times. Weekends and holidays tend to be busy all day long.
-
The first visit can be a little stressful for both you and your dog, so keep it short and happy. Gradually work your way to longer visits.
Dog Park Mission Statement
We believe responsible ownership involves keeping our companion dogs happy and healthy. We believe that in order for dogs to be healthy and well socialized, they need off-leash time to exercise and play with other dogs. Dogs that are socialized and get plenty of regular exercise are more adjusted to people and other dogs, are unlikely to be aggressive and dangerous, and are healthier and happier than pent-up or un-socialized dogs.
We are committed to working with the public and elected and appointed officials to ensure that parks are a benefit to everyone and to educate them about dog-related issues and the value of off-leash recreation. We seek respectful, enlightened coexistence with other park users through properly supervising and maintaining appropriate conduct of dogs off-leash.
