Are dog parks a good place to teach my dog socialization skills?
A – Any dog that uses a dog park should be well socialized BEFORE using the dog park. This will help to keep you and your dog safe, as well as the other dogs and owners that are in the park with you. Also, you want your dog to enjoy their time at the park and they can’t do that if they are scared and unsure about being there or if they are out of control with excitement. NOW is the time to work on socialization, before you start using the park.
