Meanwhile, dog walking in Medan covers parks and routes where leashed dogs are welcome.

Off-leash etiquette that keeps parks open

Vaccinated and licensed. Most parks require it; all of them assume it.
Watch your dog, not your phone. Off-leash is a privilege that depends on owners paying attention.
Pick it up. Every time, no exceptions -- this is the number-one reason parks get complaints.
Know your dog. Reactive or unneutered dogs and puppies under four months generally do not belong in busy off-leash parks.
Leave when it is not working. If your dog is overwhelmed or overwhelming others, a short walk beats a bad incident.

Then think about water, shade and timing. On-site drinking water means lighter bags; shade or a shelter stretches a summer visit by an hour. Go early or on weekday evenings for calm, weekend mid-morning for the social scene. Shy or reactive dogs do best off-peak in short sessions -- and wherever you go, leash up through the gate area, where most scuffles start, and unclip once you are clear of the entrance.

First visit to a new park

Walk the perimeter on-leash before unclipping: check the fence line for gaps, note where the water is, and watch the resident dogs for a few minutes. Keep the first session short and end it yourself while things are going well -- your dog will remember the park as the place good things happen.

What to pack for the dog park

Water and a bowl, poop bags (bring more than you think), a leash for the walk in and out, and a towel in the car for muddy days. A long line is the honest middle ground if your recall is a work in progress.

Frequently asked questions

How many off-leash dog parks are here?

Do dog parks cost anything?

Public off-leash parks are almost always free. If a park ever charges, it will say so on its own signage.

Can puppies go to the dog park?

Puppies under about four months -- before full vaccination -- should sit out the busy off-leash hours. Ask your vet when yours is ready.

Are the dog parks fenced?

Fencing varies by park and is not always tagged in map data. Treat any park as unfenced until you have walked it yourself.
