To walk with a dog… is to share his world. What sights and sounds he encounters. What past and present smells he reads. To stretch his legs, to bask in the sun, to discover and wind his way through this brave new human world. cheerfuldogs chronicles Living with Dogs: 5 Essentials of Dog Park Etiquette Issue 2 Certified. Force-free. Dog-centred Sprightly, beautiful five-year-old Princess was adopted from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) Singapore in 2014. She and her guardian enjoy jaunty long walks in the park, racing across the breaking waves on the beach, and chilling on the grass watching the world go by. cheerfuldogs BFF in the Spotlight: Princess Only bring good dog park candidates. Be honest with yourself: Is your dog truly social? Dog parks can be as jam-packed as express ways during rush hour. Does your dog love to mingle with other dogs of all sizes, ages, temperaments, and energy levels? Some dogs need personal space and that’s okay. If this is your pooch, consider hiring a dog walker for one-on-one or small group walks. Size matters. Your Chihuahua may love Boxers, your Rottie mix may adore dachshunds, but keep close watch when little and big play together. Big dogs can unintentionally harm small dogs—designated small dog areas are built into dog parks for this very reason. If you let your pooch play with very differently sized dogs, supervize vigilantly. Never allow chase or wrestle games. Call your dog away with a treat and seek out an area of the park with more dogs his own size.
