Dog-Park Manners and Safety

Dog parks were developed to give urban canines a place to run free and to be used by socially responsible dog owners. Which is nice is theory but, you must remember that not every dog owner is tuned into their dog’s behavior. You need to be responsible for your dog and yourself. Follow whatever guidelines and permit requirements your dog park has. If a dog that comes to the park is a continuous problem, and you have a group of park users who think so then look into whom the governing body of your park is and summit a formal petition to have that dog’s right to use the park revoked. If only your dog as a problem with this dog you need to simple avoid using the park at the same time, if you noticed the problem so has the other dog owner. Try simple asking them what days and time they come to the park and agree not to come at the same time. Dogs are just like people they are not going to like every dog the meet, and they certainly do not want a friendship with them, and that is ok, just do not encourage interaction with those dogs.
