🐶Dog parks are great when they work well, and provide a great source of exercise and interactions with other dogs. Being aware of some tips can help make your dog park adventures less stressful and more enjoyable for both you and your dog.

🐾When entering or exiting the park please allow space for all dogs. Don’t let your dog crowd new dogs entering the park. The entrance to a park is where a lot of problems occur as you have excitable dogs entering and tired dogs leaving. Try not to linger in this area and keep moving to your destination.

🤔Not all dogs like the dog park. Yes, as crazy as this sounds it’s true. As humans we assume a dog park is a great place for all dogs, however, this is not always the case. Some dogs do not like the dog park as they find it overwhelming with all the other dogs. Some dog combinations just don’t work, just like not all people get along. Some dogs may not like other dogs' play style or ‘vibe’. Do not force interactions and allow other dogs space if they do not seem interested in meeting your dog.

🐕Learn about body language and communication to recognize wheat appropriate and inappropriate dog play and interactions are. Appropriate play is mutual between dogs where they are BOTH taking turns in the game with short rests in between. Games that become too rough for too long or high-speed chase games can escalate into a fight. Monitor the way your dog is playing with another dog. Randomly call your dog and praise to interrupt and de-escalate the game to give them a break then let them play again.

👀Be observant of bullying and mobbing behaviour. When one dog is constantly jumping on another dog, pins him down, or constantly chases him – this is not play. This is inappropriate and the dog is being a bully. Not because he is a bad dog, but because he has not been taught how to interact appropriately. Pushy dogs can trigger aggressive responses from other dogs. If you find your dog is bullying another dog it’s time for you to leave the park. If you feel your dog may be too boisterous, please seek a force-free training professional to help you help your dog.

⚾️Don’t let your dog steal other dogs’ toys. This can cause a serious fight between dogs who want to play with the toy. Rather just give space to a person who is playing with their dog.

🤚Be aware of size differences. Respect smaller dogs and don’t allow a big dog to rush up to small dogs or chase them. Not only can this traumatize the small dog, but it can trigger predatory behaviour from the bigger dog which is very dangerous and can end badly.

⛔️Please do not take a female in heat to the park. As I am sure you can imagine this can cause a lot of problems.

👍Teach your dog a great recall. Practice calling your dog randomly, not just when it’s time to leave.

😊Most conflicts can be avoided if you are actively supervising your dog and have consideration of others.

Quick snap before the weather turned! Sam and I did some reinforcement training while on our walk, he is such a smart dog.

I am so lucky to have this opportunity to build a bond and friendship with so many doggos!

"Socialization" is NOT about turning our dogs into social butterflies.Way too often socializing is confused with just letting dogs be crazy in playgroups and...

This is Bowie and it was our first time together without mum! So, naturally she was checking me out, sniffing my clothes and waiting patiently for a treat after discovering my treat bag 😅☺️ Such a sweet pup and I look forward to, hopefully, gaining more of her trust and eventually score some cuddles!

Have you signed?

Thank you to everyone who has signed the petition to end public funding of Greyhound Racing.
We are sooooo close to the target, which will make it the highest number of signatures of any petition in Tasmania.

There are only ten days to go, so if you havent signed yet, there is still time to lend your voice to these beautiful dogs.
