Run Free!
We use the term "Run Free" rather loosely - while allowing your friendly dog(s) to socialize and exercise off-leash, it is important to be responsible by following our Petiquette tips. Off-leash never means unsupervised or uncontrolled; allowing your dog(s) off-leash means keeping them under voice-control at all times.
Dog walkers, please....
Carry a leash.
Pick up and dispose of dog waste.
Do not leave dogs unattended.
Leash aggressive dogs.
Control excessive noise.
Prevent digging and destructive behavior.
Always carry a bag, a spare, and one to share!
Additional suggestions:
Spay or neuter all pet dogs between the age of 10 weeks-6 months for everyone's health and safety. Intact males and in-season females create disturbances and aggressive behaviors. Sterilization is healthier for your pet, minimizes behavioral problems, and addresses pet overpopulation.
Keep your dog up to date on vaccinations (or do annual titers).
Make sure puppies have sufficient immunity to Parvovirus and Distemper before entering popular dog play areas.
Remove choke chains or prong collars before allowing your dog to play with others.
Do not bring sick dogs to dog play areas without first consulting with a veterinarian to make sure your dog is not contagious.
