petsDog Park Etiquette
Always clean up after your dog
Bring bags and pick up immediately. This is the number one complaint at every dog park and the top reason parks get shut down.
Keep vaccinations current
Dog parks are shared spaces. Make sure your dog is up to date on rabies, distemper, and bordetella to protect everyone.
Leave aggressive dogs at home
If your dog has a history of aggression, a busy dog park isn't the right environment. Work with a trainer first.
Don't bring food for humans
Your lunch can trigger resource guarding in dogs around you. Save the picnic for after the park visit.
Supervise at all times
Stay off your phone and watch your dog. You need to be ready to intervene quickly if play gets too rough.
