Dog Park Behavior

 Dog Parks can be a wonderful place for you and your dog to socialize with others, however there are times that the dog park is a scary and rough place to be. There are many rules to the doog park that owners must abide by in order for all to enjoy their time and for the dogs to get the most benefit. Beside the rules that are often posted at dog parks you should use common sense when attending with your family and dog.

1. Don’t ever allow your toddler to walk or crawl among the dogs. NOT ALL dogs are good with children!

2. Don’t allow your children to run amongst the dogs or play on the dog equipment. This is a playground for dogs, not children. How would you feel if someone allowed their dog to run and play off lead in your children’t playground?

3. Do not attempt to use training techniques that you see on television to “correct” your dog. Doing so could start a chain reaction amongst the dogs and cause a serious dog fight.

4. Do NOT scream and yell at your dog at the dog park. This only makes you look like a fool and your dog will learn to associate your anger with other dogs and humans therefore causing negative behavior.

5. If you know your dog’s not good with certain sizes, sex or breeds, do not bring him into the dog park if they’re present. Take a walk and wait until their done. This way your dog can have a positive experience at the park.

These are just a few common sense rules that you need to keep in mind. It’s always a good idea to find a seminar on dog park behavior before visiting your local dog park. Check out our calendar page for more information on our next Dog Park Behavior Seminar!     

Dog-Dog Interaction Seminar & Dog Park Workshop 

Do you get nervous when your dog plays with other dogs? Afraid he’s going to get into a fight and you won’t know how to handle it? Now you can learn how dog’s play, how they fight and the best way to interrupt situations that are getting too excited. DogSpeak will be hosting a seminar on Friday, October 28th, at 6:30pm in Berry Hill. This seminar will talk about the different personalities of dogs, different play styles, different types of disagreements and how to interrupt unwanted behavior and break-up fights without causing more harm to your dog or yourself.

A MUST seminar for anyone that visits dog parks on a regular basis! Our Be Safe, Be Responsible: Understanding Dog-Dog and Dog-Human Communication is a pre-requisite for this seminar, otherwise you’ll be missing a lot of information needed to be successful.

We’ll also be having a Dog Park Workshop on Saturday, October 29th, 9:30aat the Mt. Juliet Dog Park. This workshop will be for you and your dog. We’ll get hands-on with dog interaction. This will allow you to supervise play, and possibly fights, with an experienced dog daycare supervisor.

Seminar is $45 per person, no dogs please. Registration is required by Weds., October 26th. Register by emailing us at info@dogspeak101.com. Dog Park Workshop is for you and your dog. $25 per person/dog. Only one dog per person please. This class will be limited. Register by emailing.
