Crisp air and no bugs — fall might be the best season of all for dog parks. These 9 Colorado parks have the trails and agility setups to make the most of sweater weather.
Mind the foxtails and burrs
Fall seed pods work their way into paws, ears, and coats. Give your dog a quick once-over after trail time, especially between the toes.
Use the longer sessions
Cool weather means dogs can play longer without overheating — great for working on recall or burning off energy before winter cabin fever sets in.
