It’s finally starting to warm up out there! If you are considering taking your dog to an off leash dog park here are some tips to keep in mind:
- Teach your dog to respond to training cues, such as come, prior to going to the park.
- Give your dog your full attention to provide your dog with proper supervision during play time, no cell phones please.
- Supervise your dog to make sure play is not getting to rough, interrupt if needed.
- Consult with your vet. Is your dog healthy enough to visit a dog park? Is he up to date on vaccinations?
- Be willing to leave the park if your dog is getting bullied, if play is too rough, or your dog is not enjoying play time.
- Most importantly will your dog enjoy the off leash park? Not all dogs like the atmosphere of an off leash dog park.
- Please call (630/272-7474) if you have questions or concerns about your dog in an off leash dog park environment. A private lesson at the dog park could be scheduled to help with questions and concerns.
