The dog-park bag

Water plus a collapsible bowl, twice as many poop bags as you expect to need, a leash for the parking lot and the gate, and a towel for the ride home. If recall is still a project, a 10-metre long line gives freedom without the risk.

Choosing the right park for your dog

Not every off-leash area suits every dog. Fencing is the first thing to check: a fully fenced park with a double-gated entry is the only safe choice for escape artists and unreliable recall. Separate small-dog areas matter if your dog is under about 15 kg -- being bowled over by a boisterous large breed is no one's idea of fun. Surface counts too: grass is kindest on joints, while gravel and wood chips can be rough on paws and get surprisingly hot in sun.

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.

Scoping out a new park

Do a leashed lap first. Look for fence gaps, check water and shade, and read the room -- a calm pack is a green light, a tense one is a reason to try another day. Keep visit one short and leave happy; dogs build their opinion of a park fast.

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.

Do dog parks cost anything?

What if my dog does not like the park?

Not every dog is a dog-park dog, and that is fine. Leashed walks, sniff spots and playdates suit plenty of dogs better than a busy off-leash crowd.
