No bad dogs, just ignorant dog owners

Treaty's dog park is a typical dog park and is perfect for its intended purpose. It's plenty large enough for dogs to run and play, has a hose, a few shade trees and several benches. However, like all dog parks, the experience is more about the other visitors at the park than the park itself.

Too often we will bring our dog to Treaty and there will be an owner in the back corner who has a dog that does not like playing (maybe because of its nature or possibly its nurture). A dog park is a place to take your dog to play with other dogs. If you don't want your dog to play with other dogs, don't take your dog to a dog park.

I encourage dog owners to educate themselves and know what dog play is (It only takes a quick google search).

Again, If you have a dog that is overwhelmed and does not want to play, don't take your dog to a dog park.
If you are uncomfortable with the way dogs play, don't be a dog owner.
