First trip to the dog park?
If this is the first trip to a leashless dog park you need to introduce
you pet to the experience slowly -- especially if you have rescued the
dog and are not too familiar with his personality or know if he is socialized.
- Thoroughly read the rules before entering;
- Make your first trip during a "slow" time at the park --
weekday mornings and late afternoons are best. Avoid weekends;
- Don't force your dog to stay if he becomes fearful. As his comfort
level grows, increase his play time.
- It is NOT a good idea to leave your dog on a leash. A leashed dog
may feel at a disadvantage and will want to protect you. Off leash,
the park is neutral territory.
- Stay close, but let your dog interact;
- Don't overreact to "normal" dog park behavior. Being overprotective
just makes your dog nervous -- and a scared dog is an aggressive dog.
As the standards for "normal" behavior in a dog park is very
different than elsewhere, it's a great idea to visit alone first and
observe.
- Don't hesitate to ask others at the park for help and advice.
