Chapter Eight: Training in the Dog Park?

“To be able to comply with council rules in a dog park, you need to have taught your dog at least four basic commands, before coming to the dog park. Your dog needs to be fairly reliable in responding to these commands to be under control and safe.”

“Every dog owner is responsible for preventing their dog from harassing or threatening other dogs.”

“Praise will ultimately be the most effective reinforcement but food rewards and toys can help…..”

“Food should only be given to your own dog and only when it has done something to earn it, such as sitting or coming. Leave the other dogs out of it.”
