Dog Park Tips
  • Understand your dog’s behavior – pay close attention to your dog’s interactions with other dogs.  Watch for these aggressive behavior signs:
    • Pulling back or flattened ears
    • Snapping and snarling
    • Cornering, crowding or charging other dogs
  • Aggressive dogs are not permitted in the park! If your dog has a tendency for aggressive behavior, do not enter.
  • If you have a large dog that doesn’t do well with small dogs and the park is full of small dogs, come back another time.
  • Ensure your dog is well trained and responds to your commands. It is a good idea to exercise your dog before entering an off leash park so they do not enter over-excited. Overly energetic behavior many not be welcomed by all dogs at the park.
  • Use good judgement. The dog park is meant to be a safe place for dogs to exercise and socialize with other dogs. If your dog or another dog in the park is showing signs of aggressive or fearful behavior, leave before a confrontation ensues. Supervise your dog at all times and take not of other dogs’ behavior.
  • Always pick up after your dog and keep the park clean!!
