About
Taking Your
Dog To An Off-Leash Dog Park
Dogs Love to run free.In many areas, however, it is not
possible to allow your dog to run leash-free for many reasons. First of
all, almost all cities and even small towns have leash laws. Dogs must
be on leash when outside of a closed private yard. Also, it is not safe
for dogs to run free in most areas. Car traffic is everywhere and we
have all seen too many dogs out in the middle of a busy street. Even in
rural areas there is risk as cars, although less frequent, pass by at
very high speed. Dogs may also get into a fight or get attacked by
another dog. Or they may get lost. This is especially true when
traveling away from home in an area unfamiliar to your dog. So, unless
you know the area and it has a lot of free space, it is best to keep
your dog under leash control when traveling or outside of their familiar
area. --- Continued
