JOIN OUR NEW GROUP OF RESPONCABLE DOG
OWNERS FOR AN OFF-LEASH DOG PARK!
http://offleash.meetup.com/73
Off-leash dog areas provide a social setting in which people can gather and interact in friendship. Off-leash dog areas are places where dog owners and nondog owners can delight in the entertaining and interesting interaction of dogs at play. Scientific studies have shown that people somehow find it easier to talk to each other with dogs as the initial focus, breaking down the usual social barriers that make people in our society perceive others as "strangers." Dogs that are highly socialized and exercised are healthier & happier. They make better neighbors because they bark & try to dig out of their enclosure less often. If they do escape, they are far less likely to be aggressive.
Safe Exercise & Socialization for Dogs
A dog park provides a safe environment for puppies and adult dogs to play and exercise safely in an enclosed space. Well-socialized puppies turn into better canine citizens. Happy, Healthy Dogs. A dog park leads to better exercised dogs. This leads to happier and healthier dogs. Just like humans, dogs need regular exercise. Fewer Off-Leash Dogs in Fields or Parks
A dog park gives dog owners a designated space to exercise their dogs, which leads to fewer off-leash dogs in community fields and parks. This helps prevent incidents with other park users (such as joggers and small children) and those who may be fearful of dogs.
Better Neighbors
A dog park helps lead to regularly exercised dogs in the community. Tired, exercised dogs make better next door neighbors and are less likely to bark incessantly, destroy property or jump on neighbors
Building A Community
A dog park helps build community and lasting friendships between dogs and their owners. Dogs help to bring people together and break down many social or economic barriers. Access for Elderly & Disabled Dog Owners The emotional, health and social benefits of pet ownership are unquestionable. A dog park provides elderly and disabled owners
with an accessible place to exercise their companions.
