1. Make sure your dog is spayed or neutered, has all her shots, and is in good health.

Under no circumstances should you bring a sick dog to a dog park!

2. Do not use the dog park as a substitute for the walk!

If you drive to the park, leave your car a block away and take your dog on a vigorous walk of at least thirty-five minutes to drain some of her energy. Never take an over-excited dog to the park.

3. While at the park, don`t "punch out" on your calm-assertive leadership.

Be aware of your dog at all times, and take responsibility for her behavior. Don`t forget to pick up after her!

4. A calm-submissive dog will not attract another dog`s aggression...

...but an excited dog, a weak, timid dog, or an aggressive dog can become a fight-magnet.

5. Know your dog!

If your dog has poor social skills, is overly fearful or is dog aggressive, or if you have not yet established your calm-assertive leadership with your dog, find a more controlled way to introduce her to the company of other dogs, such as "play dates" with one or two other dog owners.
