Yes, I take mine to pivate parks though just so they can run around and play in a huge field.

I voted sometimes, but really it's rarely and no-
Nacey, Nova, and Charie have all been to a dog park, though only a few times. Bitsy and Buster have never been to one, they would both hate it.

my girls? No. I take my girls to whatever open feild I find and ket them run off leash, I dont need a fence for them, and Happy is not so great with other dogs. Misty I dont just because I always take Happy and Misty together unless to a friends house, then its just Happy that comes. Ripley goes all the time, he could not care less about the other dogs he just likes to run and thats it. Perky, no he does not like runs at all, she hates the dog oark, dogs keep trying to play with her and she wont have any part in it, she wonty run in open feilds either, she is really hard to exersize lol Blair goes to the dog ark sometimes, he tends to hide behind my mom though and is always in a HUGE hurry to get back to the van , he does not like the park much lol

Kai and Kaedyn have only been to an actual dog park a couple times. Kai doesn't really play with other dogs.. he just runs around them and barks (I call it "herding" :p) Kaedyn likes to tell other dogs he's the boss... so going to the dog park doesn't work very well for us. I usually take them to the school nearby. There's a huge soccer field that's usually empty.

Hmmmm there should be a 'no, none in my area' option. I WOULD, but there aren't any in my area that I can take them to. :(

Nope. :( I wish we had we had one. If we did have one, they'd be there every day...:D

No.
*There isn't one anywhere around here.
*MAXIMUS is not real dog friendly. But, we're working on it.
*So many people are so afraid of him :confused: We don't
want to get into that.

We usually go the park early or when there are not a whole lot of
people around. We always seem to find a good spot to go off
leash. He has always been great about "borders." And, he really
responds to the horrible "no" I do when he's pushing his luck.

There isn't a dog park around us...yet. The only one I would take anyway is Jack because he is very people/dog friendly and loves to play. Shadow doesn't like to run around a whole lot anymore but she would have loved it when she was younger. Micki and Kyra are not dog friendly, Micki is getting better but not to the point we would let him loose with a bunch of other dogs. Mini would not find it fun at all, I usually take them for an off-leash run in the woods and they love it, there are no other dogs and lots of smelly things to track!

sometimes because my parents only drive us there everyonce and a while but once I get my licence hopefully everyday.

I did until three of my four came down with kennel cough over the weekend. I'm certain that they got it at the dog park a couple of weeks ago. They are very sick and the dog park just isn't worth it any more. :( Off to the vet to get them some medicine.

I take Visa to the dog beach near my house. We go once or twice a week. Visa tends to get anxious when there are many offleash dogs around her at once. This beach doesn't usually have very many dogs, and it also has the lake and she is obsessed with the lake. Lots of fun. Right now I am working on training her to control her drive. She goes into drive when she is onleash and sees another dog running offleash. So we go to the dog beach and sit with her onleash, and whenever she goes into drive I give her a correction. Dog parks are awesome places to train dogs with all of the distractions. Lately there has been an epidemic of lice around here because of dogs going to dog parks, so that's something we have to watch out for.

sometimes i will, but not often... I just take them to the dog beach, where they can frollick on lead, somtimes I let Tikeya off.. most dogs are on lead there since it is'nt fenced in.. but i don't generally like the idea of going to large fenced off dog parks, because people like to bring dogs there that have fleas and lice, its kinda annoying.
