Before You Go to a Dog Park


Dog Park Mission Statement

We believe responsible ownership involves keeping our companion dogs happy and healthy. We believe that in order for dogs to be healthy and well socialized, they need off-leash time to exercise and play with other dogs. Dogs that are socialized and get plenty of regular exercise are more adjusted to people and other dogs, are unlikely to be aggressive and dangerous, and are healthier and happier than pent-up or un-socialized dogs.

We are committed to working with the public and elected and appointed officials to ensure that parks are a benefit to everyone and to educate them about dog-related issues and the value of off-leash recreation. We seek respectful, enlightened coexistence with other park users through properly supervising and maintaining appropriate conduct of dogs off-leash.

Tips for your Visit to the Off-Leash Dog Parks

How to Enter the Park:

Please note: Puppies under four months of age are at risk of infection even when vaccinated. Younger dogs’ immune systems are not fully mature.

Your dog must have a collar (no spikes or prongs, please!), with proper ID and rabies tags when in the Dog ParkCorrect Owner Behavior


Understanding Canine Behavior:

Be aware that dogs have different play styles. Educate yourself about dog behavior. Behavior that concerns some dog owners may simply be a rambunctious play style. Always respect another dog owner’s wishes if they are not comfortable with how your dog is interacting with theirs. Simply move to another part of the park for a while. Leash up and leave if your dog is acting in an aggressive manner or having a bad day.

Move around. Walking defuses defensive behaviors and keeps the off-leash area a neutral territory. This means your dog is more likely to pass by another dog with a sniff-sniff rather than a stare-down.

Keep licenses and vaccinations up to date. Sometimes, when people stand around, the dogs may become protective of their people and their space, making scuffles more likely to occur.
