I am planning on moving to a bigger city here soon. I'm so excited about it. Where I live now is a very small town so there is no dog park. This city I'm moving to has a dog park. I want to take my kids so badly. I'm kinda scared though. Can someone tell me some good and bad dog park stories/experiences. I want to know what to expect.
I have already done some research on the dog park that is there. So far the only sad thing is there is a limit of two dogs per person. In the beginning it will be okay cause I will only take one dog at a time but once they get use to it I want to be able to take them all. Maybe if I become a regular it wont be a big deal. Or I know, I need to make a friend up there and they can come with
These are the rules of this park. Are they typical?
