Most dogs love going to the dog park! Although every dog is welcome, you’ll have a much more pleasant experience if you spend time preparing your pet for his first trip.

A little training goes a long way. You should feel comfortable that your dog will come when he’s called. It would also be handy if your dog knows how to stay or ‘drop it,’ just in case he ends up taking off with another dog’s toy.

Socialization is important too. Make sure your pup has had some exposure to other dogs before you go to the park. If he hasn’t and you’re using the dog park to help your pet get used to other animals, keep him on a leash at all times.
