Avoiding problems at the dog park

Here's a video from petside.com about making the most of your trip to the dog park, useful information if you go to Six Wags, or to the new public park when it opens.

If I can add one thing not metioned in the video: Don't stand around chatting with other pet parents. I mean, chat all you like, but keep moving at a leisurely pace. A crowd of stationary people will tend to make dogs territorial, cause tempers to flare and otherwise spoil the fun for the pooches.

Besides, you need the exercise, too. Right?
