Before you take your dog to a dog park:
- Visit the park without your dog, preferably at several different times of day, to get a feel for what kind and how many dogs your dog may encounter.
- Gradually socialize your dog. Taking your dog immediately to such an exciting setting could set a shy dog back rather than help him or her. Start with a more disciplined arena like a training class, or supervised interactions on-leash with another dog. Once they’re comfortable with this, start having one-on-one off-leash interactions. If your dog does well in these situations, start allowing off-leash interactions with other dogs.
- Familiarize yourself with the rules, regulations, operating hours, and more of the dog park. Contact the city or organization listed in the descriptions above.
