Dog Park Etiquette (and Finding the Right Park)

Dog parks are wonderful when they go well and stressful when they do not. Most of the difference is etiquette: watch your dog, not your phone; step in early; leash up at the gate; and know when your dog has had enough.

Finding the right park matters too. The Sniff and Shift App maps dog parks marked by pack members who were actually there, with notes on whether they are fenced, have water, or run off-leash. Search by ZIP or radius, tap for directions, and pick the one that fits your dog. A good park and good manners make for a good afternoon.

The Sniff and Shift App launches this August. join the pit crew for launch-day alerts, and grab some single-ingredient treats for the co-pilot while you wait.
