  Love Muttland Meadows!

  I like Muttland Meadows because it allows my small dog play with the big dogs. At county parks my small is often alone on the small dog side and is left out while she watches all the big dogs play together. Here she gets interaction with all dogs and loves it. I love that there's open space in the middle of the park but a trail along the outer rim, but still fenced in so my dog can venture off leash. I have only ran into a couple of dogs that don't want to be bothered but 1. It's good socializing (as long as not violent) for my dog (puppy) to learn to respect other dogs when they tell her to back off, and 2. Read your dog, hair up means caution and could mean agression. Stay close. If your dog doesn't want to be around other dogs, the dog park isn't the place to be at that time. The park volunteers take good care of the park. They leave no excuse not to clean up after your dog with the waste bins, scoops, and bags every few feet. The trees provide shade when it's warm. Wood chips are there for the trails and if there's a muddy area you can scoop it up yourself and place it where needed. I haven't met any person who is unpleasant, although if I did it wouldn't be hard to avoid them given the large park. I drive pretty far for this park simply so my small dog can have a pleasant interaction with dogs of all sizes.

  Just Fine

  We visit this park mostly during the week and during the day. My pup likes to keep to himself, we usually go to get him some exercise along with him to play with his tennis ball. The park itself is massive. Great to walk around but also not great as many don't pay attention to what their pups are doing. While my pup is a big dog there is no area just for small dogs. I do believe this park would be so much better if it was run like county dog parks were with registration and maintenance checks. They do do a great job keeping the wood chips coming and the dog bags/scoopers plentiful.

  Bad Dog Owners

  I agree with other reviewers that cite examples of poorly mannered dog owners. Went here a couple of times with my small dogs, but will not go back. Honestly, WTH is the matter with people?
  This could be a great dog park but for the irresponsible losers. Lori, God, I'm so sorry, and I hope your little dog is ok. I, too, contacted the managers years ago, asking for a small dog section. While they were polite and responsive, it never happened.

  Lots of Issues at this Park

  There are just too many issues with this park that need to be pointed out (5/2/2016):

  1. Many of the regulars do not watch their dogs. I understand that in pack situations dogs will display alpha behavior, but when your dog is constantly warned by another to stop the display, the owners need to step in. For example, there is a collarless dog an older man who has difficulty moving (he brings a cane) that tries to hump everyone else's dog. After having to break up fights between his dog Fred and mine over a half dozen times because of this, I've given up on trying to instruct him about the behavior (as have other people) or how telling Fred 'it doesn't work' doesn't help the situation.

  2. The older dog walkers with multiple dogs. They are in no physical shape to handle the 8 to 12 dogs they each bring, not to mention you are constantly having to point out where their dogs have gone. Additionally, one of them brings a dog that barks continuously the entire time she is there. I believe his name is Baxter, and will rush you with aggressiveness to see what you will do while barking.

  3. Your dog will be disciplined according to the way the regulars think it should. I've had people get in my dog's face and yell at her, pull her tail, and take a swipe at her. I've had to bring a water bottle to spray other people, not just dogs. It doesn't matter if you are trying to train your dog, they will invite them up on their bodies, up on tables, etc., and ridicule you for wanting your dog to have some manners.

  4. The weekends - Despite a park for kids right across from it and warnings about kids running and screaming around dogs, there are plenty doing it on the weekend. Their parents usually have a bacon and egg breakfast sandwich in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other. And a dog that isn't too friendly.

  5. The water dishes - never cleaned. If you want to risk a vet visit for a bacterial infection or deal with loose stools for a couple of days, let your dog drink from the dish.

  6. The Board - Don't bother contacting anyone with complaints. The board members of some of the worst when it comes to these things. And they know everything there is to know about your dog and dog behavior. Really. They do.

  7. The good - If you want a place where you really don't have to pick up your dog's poop, watch him or be have to control him, walk around the outdoors while checking out your cellphone or having a smoke, this is the park for you. If you want to skip most of the issues I listed, as early in the morning as you can make it would be better. Otherwise, I'd suggest the Belgium dog park as a number of people have informed me the situation is about the same in West Bend.

  Fun, But enter at Own Risk

  As with any unrestricted area for pets, you have to know your dog and be prepared for other dogs who might not be friendly, or owners who might not be aware of their dogs boundaries. I'm sorry to hear that your dog was unsympathetically attacked by some larger dogs. I hope that your dog is O.K. Still I don't think it is fair to rate a perfectly good dog park only one bone for your mishap which could have occurred at any unleashed dog park. We have been taking our social dog Chase to this park for over a year, since he was about 10 weeks old and have had only a few nipping incidents. I emphasize that that could have happened at any unrestricted unleashed dog area. Chase loves going there! It's a nice area for dogs to run, some open and many lightly wooded areas. Always taking your dog's temperament in mind, we highly recommend Muttland Meadows for some good social and physical exercise for your dog(s).

  Ms.

  Lori, you can't possibly be thinking that you want to go atter the person who owned the dog that went after your dog. It's a dog park and if you take your dog there you are wide open to anything that will happen there. You should have thought about that before you took yourlittle dog there, because that kind of thing can naturally happen in a dog park.You need to take responsibility for your actions.

  Not Safe for Small Dogs

  My sympathy is with you Lori. I took my little 11lb. dog to this park & the Big Dogs chased her like prey.She was very frightened. The oners of the Big Dogs thought it was all very funny. I didn't see the humor in it. We won't be back. It's not a safe place for small dogs.I wish they had a fenced off area , so little dogs could run and play in safety.

  Muttland Meadows

  This is a wonderful fenced-in area for dogs to play and meet 'n greet other dogs. Ivy, our yellow lab/golden retriever, loves running and playing with all the other dogs. This dog park is maintained by local dog owners, so be sure to bring a gallon of water to share!
