Was curious if anyone takes their dogs to the dog park? I have heard mixed things about this and wanted to get other peoples opinions on it. Personally, I never have, I am always worried about how my dog will react to the other dogs. That and what if one of the dogs have flees or something else that my dog could pick up on? I would hate to take my dog to a dog park and he end up catching something from another dog.
I know that there are people who do though. They told me they have not had any issues with their dog and going to a dog park with them, usually the other dogs are very friendly too.
I don't know though, I prefer to have my dog socialize with other dogs I know and trust rather than with strangers dogs that I do not know a whole lot about. What is everyone elses thoughts on this?
