To dog park or not to dog park is an important question for many dog owners

A lot of owners assume the dog park is the best place to exercise their dogs. However, while dog parks can be a great place for some dogs not every dog enjoys the park or is suitable to spend time in off leash areas and engage in play.

There are many suitable alternatives for dogs who do not enjoy rough play or need a bit more space. And these are good dogs, too!



Learning Objectives

  • Explain which dogs are suitable for the dog parks and how to raise dogs who can go to the dog park
  • Cover which behaviours need to be in place for dogs to be able to join off leash play
  • Covers common misconceptions about dog parks
  • Explain problems that can arise at the off leash area and how to deal with them
  • Explore different set ups for dog parks and which ones are better options
  • Explain responsible owner behaviour at the park
  • Show exercise options for dogs who are not suitable
  • Trouble shooting and emergency recalls
