Off-leash areas

In the meantime, the dog walking guide covers parks and routes where leashed dogs are welcome.

Good to know before you go

Vaccinations and tags. Keep proof of rabies vaccination handy; some parks and all kennels ask for it.
Leash laws. Outside designated off-leash areas, assume dogs must be leashed.
Heat. If you are visiting in summer, walk early or late and test pavement with your hand; if it is too hot for you, it is too hot for paws.
Vet backup. Save the number of the nearest clinic below in your phone before you need it.
