congrats....i dont take my dogs to dog parks....i dont know why but i dont like it they dont listen to well when they are at home so i see some issues with new dogs and what not....if i want them to run or play i have a gravel pit in front behind and on the side of me and if i want to go for a walk and let them swim behind the gravel pit is the chena river....bout a mile walk.....or i can take them to my sister in laws house who has 18 acres of woods and her dogs just roam there....
