Product Description:
For most dogs, a visit to a dog park is a great experience filled with chances to interact with other dogs and get some exercise. But not all dogs (not to mention their owners) have a great experience every time. So what can you do increase the chance that going to the dog park will be safe and fun for your dog? Cheryl provides you with the information you need to know including: 1) The design features a well-planned park should have. 2) The four key behaviors your dog needs to know to thrive in a dog park. 3) Dog park etiquette - for both humans and dogs. 4) How to evaluate your dog’s temperament to determine if he is dog-park ready. 5) How to read canine body language to anticipate and prevent problems. Anyone who takes their dog to a dog park - especially those who may have had some negative experiences - should benefit from reading this book. For you trainers who are asked by your clients about the pros and cons of dog parks, this book should be on your recommended reading list.

Dog Park planning by Albert F. Barnett
I am in the process of organizing a group to have a Free Run Dog Park built in Anderson County SC. I have excellent planning documents from Barkingham park in Florida and some additional input. I purchased this book as a guide to writing rules & recommendations for potential users. It will serve that purpose well, but it is an even better source of ideas for the layout and planning of our own park. As part of our project we intend to donate several copies of the book to our county library and post that information with the rules.

Unfair Review by Cheryl S. Smith
Anyone can post an Amazon review. And I’ve never commented before. But I feel it is unfair to mark the book down just because your home country doesn’t have dog parks. Then don’t post a review. Obviously, even she found the book helpful, so it shouldn’t be damaged by her review.

Thank you.

Finally have a dog park? Get this book and be prepared! by Tami M. Hawes
If you finally have a dog park coming near you and you want to

take your dog(s) to the park for some off leash fun, get this

book to prepare beforehand. Cheryl covers what to look for in a

good dog park - rules, park etiquette (yours and your dog),

openings, landscaping and clean-up.

Cheryl also covers different personality types in dogs and

which dog may want to stay home rather than go to the park.

There’s also a very cool section of scenarios to see if you can

tell what is going on in different dog interactions. Don’t

worry if you don’t get them all right, it takes practice

reading dog body language.

There’s a whole chapter that acts as a checklist for those who

enjoy making sure they have all the details to prepare for a

good experience with their dog. What to wear - you and your

dog. How to arrive and enter as well as exit the park. What to

do while in the park.

Cheryl also covers health issues that may come up from visiting

a dog park. The various illnesses that can come from shared

water bowls, airborne illnesses, and poop-borne illnesses.

These aren’t meant to scare you from going!

The last chapter has suggested resources for training behaviors

as well as how to learn canine body language. There is a lot of

resources for dog park rules, how to find one, and how to get

one setup in your area.
