Off leash dog parks are booming in popularity all over the world. A safely fenced area allows dogs and you, their owner, to run, play and unwind. This delightful outing will help you transition and enjoy some companionship with your pet and with others. If you and your pet visit a dog park, it is important to realize that you, like all dog owners, are responsible for assuring that the experience will be enjoyable for everyone. Please consider these 10 brief suggestions in how you can ensure this grand experience for all.
1) Follow all posted rules. This includes cleaning up your canine friend's dog poop and disposing of it in the proper container. Rather than carrying the dog poop bag by hand, it may be helpful to have a dog poop bag holder.
2) Only bring a healthy pet. Don't bring your canine friend if he is suffering from kennel cough, fleas, mange or other health problems.
3) Only bring an immunized pet. Do not bring an unvaccinated puppy.
4) Do not bring a female dog in heat to a dog park. There will be many un-neutered males running loose.
5) Do not bring more dogs than you can handle, even if that number is less than the allowable limit. You must have full control over all of the dogs that you bring to the park.
6) Do not bring children but if you must, supervise them closely. The possibilities for accidents with children are staggering, so please think wisely about your need to bring a child.
7) Do not bring animals other than dogs. This is only good common sense of course.
8) If you must eat, drink or smoke, then dispose of all wrappings and cigarette butts in a proper container. Wrappers or cigarette butts left lying on the ground are tempting treats for dogs.
9) Never discipline any pet other than your own while at the dog park. This could lead to arguments or worse.
10) Be responsible for your dog's behavior. If he can't play nicely, take him home.
Enjoy your visit and this wonderful recreational outlet for you and your canine friend. You both may make some very good friends in your visits to the park. Be a responsible pet owner and follow these simple and basic tips to ensure a good experience for yourself, your pet and others. This will help all enjoy their outing to the dog park.
