Conclusion

If you’ve picked a few parks to visit, ensure you and your dog have mastered dog park etiquette before visiting. Your dog should know basic commands, like “sit” and “come.”  Of course, your dog should get along with other dogs, which is a prerequisite for every off-leash area.

Finally, no matter how nice a park is, bring a trash bag, baby wipes, and doggy bags for your pup. Always expect the unexpected!
