Respect Proper Etiquette When Playing At The Dog Park
Since the dog population has increased in most cities, there are more owners who let their dogs run off leash in the parks. Many non-owners feel they are being crowded out of their favorite areas and, therefore, the police often ticket dog owners for having their dogs off leash. As a concession, many cities have converted small parks into dog parks that are just for dogs, or have fenced off certain areas of public parks - pen areas - where dogs can run free.
When taking your dog to one of these parks, don't let him bolt into the park even if he is familiar with the other dogs. Put him in a sit position for a few seconds at a safe distance away from the other dogs and then tap him gently on the back of the head and say, "Go play!" This sets a pattern for release where he learns when he is allowed to leave your side and play with other dogs.
Personally, I like dog parks because they provide a place for dog owners to take their dogs and not disturb others. But I prefer to see the whole city as a playground for my dogs, rather than letting them be outside in only a penned off area. I don't like to be restricted to a small area. I think a dog needs to be exposed to many different environments in the city to become well trained.
