Chapter One: Dogs in Australian Households

“Many dog owners make the erroneous assumption that because Rover is well behaved at home that the same will hold true in the off leash dog park.”

“Off leash dog parks can be great fun and improve our dog’s social outlook, and ours too, but we need to remember that ‘dogs will be dogs’. Dogs can and will always revert to instinctive behaviours when feeling scared, threatened or intimidated. Off leash dog parks will only ever be as good as the responsible people and controlled dogs that use them.”
