The Honest Review

I am a regular at the small dog park and the large dog park is adjacent. On average, there are far more large dogs on that side of the park and there have been the brawls, but not too often from my perspective and I go at a very busy time. I go to the small dog park and there are on occasion inconsiderate owners that don't police their dog. So yes, even in the small dog park there have been fights, but again, not that often. Unneutered males were typically the aggressor. The other owners are very nice and conscientious. Sometimes, you are in a conversation or otherwise distracted and the other owners will mention when your dog needs to have a clean up. We all take the notification well as we want to the park clean. Honestly, I have yet to be at any dog park, including Northern Virginia, that doesn't have some idiot who left their dog's feces behind. I think if an owner doesn't care and is at a park on their own, they will leave the feces behind despite the fact that the park provides doggie bags and the garbage cans. They are unaware, imho, that it's not about the rain taking care of it, it's about the feces containing diseases and this is an effective mitigation to the spread of the diseases. Lastly, the size of the dog park. While the large dog area is enormous, the small dog area is small. Recently increased by about 25%, but it's still small.
