the yukon many dog owners love to watch their dogs run and play with other dogs off leash dog parks and dog beaches are popular for this very reason cheerful dogs romping around socializing with their canine pals is a sight that makes many a dog owner s heart happy leash free parks can be a great resource for dog owners and for their dogs who can enjoy some freedom and extra exercise but off leash dog parks aren t suitable for every dog or for every owner in particular small fenced areas with lots of loose dogs sporting many different personalities can be overwhelming and stressful for many dogs don t force the issue if your dog isn t comfortable with these types of parks or dog to dog interactions don t go there are other options like off leash trails unfenced leashed walks and hikes supervised dog daycares and dog sports like dog agility or flyball all of these options can provide both physical and mental stimulation and result in a well exercised and happy dog if you do decide to visit off leash dog parks dog beaches find one please observe the following dog park etiquette tips dog park etiquette pay attention your dog is your responsibility too many times dogs get into trouble while their owners are busy doing something else it s tempting to stand around and chat with other dog owners or catch up on your voice mails or texts but every owner needs to watch their dogs for signs of stress or aggression and must be ready to take appropriate steps this is for the safety of everyone at the park including your own dog keep your pet on leash if there isn t a sign stating that dogs may run off leash always carry a leash even in a leash free area you never know when you may need it don t let your dog intimidate pester or harass other dogs or people even if you think your dog is being friendly at the first sign that the other dog or person is feeling annoyed stressed or uncomfortable recall your dog and keep him engaged with you for a few moments to let him calm down before releasing him to play again if he continues to repeat the behaviour it s time to leave the park make sure your dog has a good recall even with distractions always keep your dog close and within sight ideally your dog would be close enough for you to quickly intervene should you need to don t bring sick dogs to the dog park contagious dogs can infect other dogs and dogs who are feeling ill or who have been weakened by illness could be injured by the rough and tumble play styles of other dogs in the park don t bring female dogs in heat to the dog park don t bring young puppies their immune systems are not yet fully developed never bring more dogs than you can handle if a situation were to arise dog parks aren t typically a suitable environment for children if children are permitted within the park they should be accompanied by an adult don t bring toys they may cause guarding or territorial issues if your dog starts behaving aggressively leash him immediately and leave leash free areas are not suitable for aggressive dogs if you notice other dogs or owners behaving in a way that makes you or your dog uncomfortable leave immediately no digging fill in any holes your dog has created no one wants to trip in a hole and potentially sprain or break something respect the rules of the dog park many parks have signage at the entrance that clearly states the rules clean up after your dog every time always be present and attentive it bears stating one more time your dog relies on you to keep him safe in canada dogs are usually permitted in most regional provincial and national parks but must be leashed signs are generally posted where dogs are not permitted in these parks for example in environmentally sensitive areas likewise signs are posted to indicate off leash areas dogs are generally not permitted on public beaches except where posted if in doubt contact the park office shop for dog treats shop for dog toys shop for dog beds accommodations british columbia
