What to look for in the Dog Park - The Mindful Dog - 21/11/2021 - EP76 (The Sunday Cafe - Magic Talk Radio)

Dog parks provide a great safe space for people to exercise their dogs, and watch them play. They can facilitate socialization with a variety of different dogs and people. They can be a wonderful place for adolescent dogs that have too much energy and no place to put it.

The disadvantages can sometimes come in the availability to repeat unwanted behaviours.  And often, owners unknowingly contribute to behavioural problems because they don’t recognize—or don’t interpret correctly—what their dogs are actually doing and learning.
