Dog park etiquette
Where there are small and large dog enclosures, make sure you use the appropriate enclosure.
Don’t come into the enclosure if it is already crowded and leave immediately if you feel concerned about anything happening in the enclosure, or your dog’s behaviour.
When entering or leaving through the double gated transition area make sure there is nobody else already in this space. This will prevent the possibility of dogs escaping or fighting in this confined space.
When entering the dog park, quickly move away from the entrance and into the open. This will help disperse dogs that may come to greet your dog so your dog will not feel cornered or threatened.
Rather than staying in one place, keep moving around to reduce territorial behaviours.
Stay alert and focussed on your dog at all times. Many people like to chat to the other dog owners. However, it is very important to keep an eye on your dog at all times.
It is very likely there will be groups of dogs running around the park, which can quickly become a problem if not managed. Call your dog away as soon as you see any signs in any dog that they are no longer happy about the situation.
Please bring plenty of bags and clean up after your dog, and clean up after others if you come across them.
The drinking bowl has been designed to not retain water. This is to ensure it is not an attractor for snakes. If it is not draining effectively please take a moment to empty it once your dog has taken a drink.
