The Benefits of Off-Leash Play


Off-leash dog areas provide a community setting in which people can gather and socialize and where they can observe the interaction of groups of dogs at play. Dog parks the world over allow owners and their dogs to spend time together while the dog satisfies its cravings for canine play and companionship. It's great exercise for the dog and a wonderful way to enjoy the beautiful community setting.

Respected organizations like the ASPCA believe that dog parks are beneficial to both dogs and their guardians. According to Dan Emerson of Dog Channel.com, proponents of dog parks cite the following benefits: "They promote responsible pet ownership and the enforcement of dog-control laws; give dogs a place to exercise safely, thus reducing barking and other problem behaviors; provide seniors and disabled owners with an accessible place to exercise their companions; and provide an area for community-building socializing."
