Today we’re talking about Dog Parks: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly (cue the scary music).
Among dog training professionals, opinions on dog parks vary greatly. And for many owners, using a dog park can often feel like a necessity, and/or it can sometimes feel scary to use.
So today we discuss the risks with dog parks, when it's appropriate to use them, and how can you increase the likelihood that your dog will have a fun and safe experience.
Our guests to help us navigate this conversation today are Trina Walsh, part owner of Instinct East Harlem (and East Harlem's resident dog-dog expert), and Megan Coryat, CDBC who is the owner of Instinct Hudson Valley (prior to Instinct Hudson Valley, she owned the Manhattan dog daycare, Doggedly Devoted).
Hosts Brian Burton and Sarah Fraser are Co-Founders and Co-CEOs of INSTINCT Dog Behavior & Training. Both are Certified Dog Behavior Consultants and have Master's degrees in Animal Behavior from Hunter College/CUNY.
