Dog parks seem to attract a lot of dog owners for the simple reason that most dogs have a really fun time playing with other dogs. Even though this is true, there are many issues that are created at dog parks. The dog park could potentially be a dangerous place. Not all dogs are social in the way we would expect, which can lead to your dog having a really bad experience. Panos has trained over 1000 dogs in his career, and a big percentage of dogs he sees that are dog aggressive/reactive are a result of a bad experience at the dog park. Also it can be a place where your dog learns to ignore you and place a higher value in other dogs, which isn't the worst thing, but can potentially affect your training. This doesn't mean all dog parks are bad or that your dog is guaranteed a bad experience but this episode is to share some light on the topic. To dog park or not to dog park is up to you to decide, but make sure you make a well informed decision before entering. Thank you for listening, and please enjoy the show!
