Dog parks can be a
great place for fun and
exercise, but they
require responsible
pet ownership.
Dog Park Rules & Etiquee
To keep the dog park a safe and enjoyable
place for everyone, it's essential to follow
proper etiquette:
Give space at the entrance/exit -
Crowding can overwhelm a dog entering
and lead to a stressful experience.
Stay off your phone - Active supervision
is crucial to prevent problems before they
escalate.
No fence running - This behaviour can
be overly stimulating and frustrating for
some dogs.
Pick up after your dog - Keep the space
clean and pleasant for everyone.
Don't let dogs "sort it out" - Intervene
if play gets too rough or a dog seems
uncomfortable.
Respect boundaries - Not all dogs enjoy
rough play or constant interaction; be mindful
of their comfort levels.
Dog parks can be a great place for fun and
exercise, but they require responsible pet
ownership. By ensuring your dog is ready and
following proper etiquette, you can create a
positive experience for both you and
your pup!
