Right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ISSUES THAT ARISE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The problems with these parks are numerous. &nbsp;We can start simply with sanitation. &nbsp;Owners are usually rule bound to clean up after their hounds. &nbsp;These rules are always followed. (Sarcasm Alert) Urine is ever present and really unremovable. &nbsp;These two together generally makes the dog park a latrine that is used by how many dogs? &nbsp;Disease would have to be present even among the best kept locations. &nbsp;Dog flu, parvo, etc. would be silently waiting for any young dog or immune suppressed older canine that vaccination may not save. &nbsp;And vaccination, you have proof for every dog present, correct? &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\"

\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another issue is the owners themselves. &nbsp;Many owners unsnap the leash and let their fur baby run, retreating to an area to read a book, look at the phone, talk to someone else, or even go back to the car. &nbsp;Ultimately leaving their canine to fend for itself in the park. &nbsp;Creating issue if their dog is not getting along with others in the park. &nbsp;Which brings us to the pack mentality that rules the park. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When dogs are left to fend for themselves the pack becomes the rule. &nbsp;Someone must be the alpha male and female. &nbsp;Ideally you would want you and your family to fulfill that role in your dog\u2019s life. &nbsp;In the park where there are multiple owners and dogs, the jungle can quickly become the rule. &nbsp;Dogs settle alpha issues by fighting and in the most dog fights the owners are the losers. &nbsp;Vet bill, legal bills, hospital bills, and fines are easy to rack up at the park. &nbsp;Owners that \u201cdrop off their dog\u201d and dogs with problems can lead to substantial issues. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"

\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Always remember that your dog has teeth and breaking up a fight can result in bites from your dog or the other. &nbsp;Many owners treat their pooch the same as their child so there are instances of fights between owners over some indiscretion committed by one or the other dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All this over stimulation can force your dog to make drastic choices. &nbsp;In some instances, it can cause your dog to have fight or flight responses to the other dogs. &nbsp;This response can trigger other emotions like aggression and prey capture in the dogs present. &nbsp;Any of these scenarios can scar your pooch emotional and cause issues for you and your family at home. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Most \u201cdog parks\u201d are secured by a fence which gives the owner a sense of security for their pooch. &nbsp;I would check to make sure the area is completely fenced in, and the fencing is serviceable. &nbsp;Many parks have a gate that is constantly being opened to allow other dogs and people in. &nbsp;There are cases of dogs escaping through these gates and getting free. &nbsp;Do not expect someone else to grab your dog to keep it from running away. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"

class=\"wp-block-heading\">SOLUTIONS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I get it, you live in an urban area and the dog park is the only place you have to go to exercise your dog. &nbsp;There are other places and opportunities you may have to help your canine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Dog Clubs- Whether it be AKC, Schutzhund, Show Dog clubs, Obedience clubs, Agility clubs, etc there are numerous ways to get your dog exercise and socialization. &nbsp;These clubs have established members that can help you with your dog and provide a structured safe environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. You can exercise your dog in a regular park. &nbsp;Yes, I know it\u2019s on leash only, but you can do this safely. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Working with your local dog trainer. &nbsp;In many instances you can get with your dog trainer and find out if they have special get-togethers for dog owners. &nbsp;This can be easier on you and your dog since the people attending the sessions should be trained in the same manner as you and your dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. Prepare yourself for the outright chaos of the park if it is your only option. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-heading\"><strong>We recommend<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A. Know the park rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>B. Always have your leash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>C. Keep your dog\u2019s collar on the dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>D. Socialize your dog before going to the park. &nbsp;It is not an ideal place for young dogs to learn manners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>E. Train your dog before going to the park. &nbsp;You\u2019re going to find that it is difficult to control your dog in this environment. &nbsp;Distractions will make your dog prioritize the other dogs over anything you may want. &nbsp;Training must be perfected in a stable environment and distractions added in and conquered before you can expect your furry partner to obey in the park. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>F. Try to go to the park during non-peak hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>G. Try to go with a partner, spouse, relative, or friend. &nbsp;This person should ideally be someone that knows the dog and can help should problems arise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>H. Have a plan should the need arise to leave quickly. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I. Know your dog, what is it capable of handling when presented with several dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>J. Do not go if your dog is aggressive to other dogs or people, this is not a place for training those problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CONCLUSION<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, the dog park is your local governments way to say they have done something for dog owners. &nbsp;In many cases you can have great experiences with your dog in these areas; however, I do not think the risk is worth the reward. &nbsp;Disease, behavior problems, lawsuits, fines, and stress for you and your dog are not worth the issues that can happen. &nbsp;I believe these parks have been constructed with good intentions but there is that old saying that the road to the hell has been paved with those intentions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more about canine exercise, and socialization in our <a
