Remember that a Dog Park is only as nice as the community helps to make it. Help keep any and all local dog parks pet-friendly. You can help:
*Support legislation to create and maintain pet-friendly areas;
*Keep the parks clean and litter free;
*Poop-scoop after your dog(s);
*If your animal is less friendly, keep him on a leash or keep him at home until he's ready for this type of socialization;
*"Leash-free" is only for designated areas. Otherwise, keep your pet under leash control at all times;
*If your children accompany you to a dog park, please be mindful of their activity at all times. Teach them the proper way to appreciate strange dogs;
*If you see someone mistreating their dog, or have reason to believe that someone is mistreating their dog at home, for goodness' sake...call somebody. |
