Leash Free Parks – ALWAYS check out the park to make sure
- You and your dog will be safe from other dogs, people, or traffic.
- That it is a leash free park.
- Always keep a copy of current vaccinations on hand when going out.
- Do not take puppies under 16 weeks as they are still susceptible to parvovirus.
- Make sure you can still control your dog as not all dog parks are fenced.
- Maintain control of your dog at all time. Be aware of dog body language and know how to keep your dog and other dogs safe.
- If your dog is not friendly, you have two options. 1. Socialize and correct that behavior. or 2. Keep your dog at home.
- Remember, that it only takes one person to screw it up for the rest of us. Now Pace Bend Park has a leash-law instead of allowing dogs to be off-leash. Thank you to the irresponsible person who made this to happen.
