Top 5 Tips for Visiting the Dog Park
Visiting a dog run soon? Here are the 5 etiquettes before going to the dog park!
- Take off the leash?
Do only remove the leash if you feel comfortable doing so. The purpose is to socialise and have fun! - Be vigilant
Keep your focus on your dog no matter how enjoyable your human companions are. -
Don't bring treats and toys
There’s just too much potential for dogs to engage in guarding or stealing behaviour that can lead to aggression and fights. - Always pick up after your dog
Nobody likes a dirty dog park, be responsible for your dog's mess! - Leave if you start to feel concerned
Is your dog starting to feel uncomfortable? If so, leave the park and go for a walk nearby.
