Proper Dog Park Etiquette - Rules and Tips to Live By While Enjoying the Park

Dogs should be leashed until you are inside the double gates, then they should be unleashed before opening the next gate and entering the park.

All dogs must wear collars, no choke collars. Only 3 dogs per adult may be brought at one time.

Always have eyes on your dogs. If your dogs dig a hole, fill it back in.

It is your responsibility to pick up after your own dog and it is okay to nicely point out to someone else that missed theirs.

Children under 4ft tall must either be carried or within arms reach at all times. ONLY DOGS may swim in the pond or play on the agility equipment. Please do not allow your children to do either. Children may not use park equipment improperly. No running, screaming, or chasing dogs.

Small dogs vs. Big dogs- Small dogs are welcome to all areas of the park but owners must realize the risk of allowing a smaller dog to play in the big dog area. Some dogs are attracted to small dogs and simply will not leave them alone. If your dog is one of those, move to a different area in the park.

Only pet another dog if they approach you and always ask the owner first. You may only give your dog treats and make sure there are no other dogs around. No food inside the park.

Do not allow your dog to bully another. If a dog is reported to be a bully on different occasions then that dog may no longer use the park. To report a “bully”, contact the office and a record will be made of the incident.

If your dog is used to the same spot in the park, then they might become territorial. It’s a big park, move around or go for a walk if your dogs starts to act aggressive.

Every dog has different play styles, keep an open mind. Never allow your dog to pick on or dominate another unless it is mutual.

Rough play is acceptable only if both dogs involved and their owners are consensual. If your dog is playing rough and the other dog does not like it or the owner doesn’t then move to another area, take a walk or leash them for a time out. Do not just give up or assume that the other owner/dog is okay with it. Ask them.

Should any injury occur, be responsible not emotional, remain calm and follow these guidelines: Exchange phone numbers before leaving and agree to talk about it later after things have calmed down and the hurt dog has been taken care of. Let the office know about the incident so that a record can be made. Keep in mind that any incidents are between the parties involved. The park is NO WAY responsible nor will act as judge or jury. However we will help in any way we can without becoming involved.
