Marine Park Dogs

It’s a great time to take a leisurely walk with your faithful four legged friend and you live in New York City. One of the places you can go is the Marine Park where there are a two ways to exercise with your dog. One of which is a dog run, a fenced in place where the animal can run without a leash. Another way might be considered “not prime time”, before 9 am or after 9 pm. There are certain areas designated that you can let your dog run without a leash when park traffic can be expected to be very light.Additional information can be found at http://cadogan1.wordpress.com/2011/04/18/brooklyn-home-buyers-you-and-your-dogs-are-welcome-in-nyc-parks/. As always, dog owners need to heed the rules including keeping the animal under control at all times, licensing and carrying proof of rabies vaccination.

Working with your dog to quietly walk next to you? A couple tips to do that would be taking advantage of dog training classes in your area or a good book. For those dogs that pull, consider a pinch collar or a harness. Other people like retractable leashes. Try to find places where you can walk with the animal without the distraction of other dogs. And last, consider others: the pooper scooper.
