Dog parks are a great, low cost way to exercise your pet and encourage socialization. Socializing your dog from a young age can reduce many behavior problems, not the least of which is dog aggression. Dog parks also offer a great opportunity to practice off-leash training with lots of distractions. Check out one of these dog parks in Oakland County and surrounding areas. If the dog park isn't for you, check out our calendar for private doggie play dates near you.
Many of these have small dog areas. If you have a small dog, keep him safe and in the small dog area!
