Dog Parks

Dog parks are a great way to socialise your dog and get them some off-leash exersise in a safe area. While there are always positives and negatives to any area, the benifits you get will depend on 1. How well you understand Canine body language, and are able to read both your dog as well as the other dogs in the park. 2. Whether or not you and the other dog owners are supervising your dog 3. The times you go to the dog park, exercise 4. Your dog's personality and how they get along with dogs of varying personalities. Please DO NOT let your dog go and do what they want, just because it is an enclosed dog area. Step in and help your dog if the other dogs get too rough or if multiple dogs are chasing them. Even fenced-in dog parks are classed as public spaces. While you may not need to have the best recall, you will need to understand what's going on and respond to keep your dog safe and happy, as well as to prevent your dog from attacking or intimidating other dogs.
Good Dog Park Etiquette
  • Pick up after your dog.
  • Ensure your dog is up to date on their vaccinations and flea and worming treatments.
  • Ensure your dog is not sick or in heat.
  • Avoid bringing Food and treats as this may cause a fight.
  • Supervise and monitor your dog's body language and ensure they are always in your control, even in an off-leash play area.
  • Respect other owners and their dogs
  • Avoid bringing young children and strollers into the area, as this may trigger some dogs.
  • Ask the owners before feeding or petting their dogs.

  • As per the law in Western Australia, when walking your dog in a public space, such as a public enclosed dog park, the street or in public parks, reserves and bushland, you must keep your dog under effective control and not allow it to wander or bother other people, animals, or wildlife.

  • Effective control means that the dog:
