Dog Park Etiquette
Dog Park etiquette helps to ensure an enjoyable experience for everyone at the Dog Park, hounds and humans alike!
- Never leave your dog unattended and always keep your attention on your dog; accidents and mischief can happen quickly.
- If you see trash, debris, or anything else that’s out of place, pick it up or put it back so none of the dogs get injured.
- Keep your dog on-leash until you get to the off-leash area. This is not just respectful to other park users; it’s much safer for your dog.
- Close the gate to the Dog Park after entering or exiting.
- If your dog becomes unruly or plays rough, leash him and leave immediately.
- If you must bring children to a Dog Park, supervise them closely.
- Don’t smoke or eat while at the Dog Park. Cigarette butts and food wrappers are tempting treats to dogs, but bad for them.
- Don’t scold or touch someone else’s dog. You wouldn’t want them to do that to your dog.
- Be friendly with other dog owners. It’s more enjoyable if everyone is nice to each other.
- Always observe all of the rules posted.
