Dog Park Etiquette
At the request of all the dogs at my local dog park, I will explain the Off leash Dog park etiquette for the humans .
1) Walk, don’t run to the park: I often see humans being dragged to the dog park by their dogs, and I think to myself, if that guy can not control his dog before entering the park, he surely will not be able to control her inside the dog park. If your dog pulls on the leash read post on why dogs pull on the leash If that doesn’t help call my dad. He’s the best dog trainer I know
2) Humans, YOU are responsible for your dog(s). That means you are In Control of your dog at all times…if a dog doesn’t want to be humped by YOUR dog, you need to get her/him off the other dog.
3) Doodie Calls… our poop needs to be picked up immediately. My Mom always gets upset when she steps in another doggie’s poop. I don’t want to be wrapped in those diapers like they put on human cubs, so PLEASE, pick up your dogs poop.
4) You can’t pay attention to your dog while on the cell phone. It takes about 1/100th of a second to go from nice to mean, and by the time you hang up your iphone, 3 dogs can gang-up and eat your dog. Turn off your cell phone and bond with your best friend.
In closing I’d like to send good vibes and healing energy to JJ the Boxer. My dad told me he’s not feeling too good.Hope to see you at the park soon JJ. Smell you later buddy.
