Pet Dog Park Tips

February 4th, 2006 by admin in Pet Parks

Pet Dog Park Tips Overview
Visiting a pet friendly dog park can be a great experience for the pet and the owner. Social interaction and exercise are just a couple of reasons why pet dog parks can be great. For anyone thinking about a park visit, keep in mind that this experience does come with responsibility. Though not a comprehensive list of tips, this list will keep you thinking so that both you and your pet have a safe and enjoyable experience.

Pet Park Tip 1 - First Time Visitors
For all first-time dog park patrons, consider visiting the park without your pet. This will allow you to get a lay of the facility so you know what to expect. Talk to other dog owners during this trip and gather information. Ask if there have been problems with other dogs and try to determine what the peak and non-peak hours are. Remember, even dogs can get stressed and over-excited. Taking your pet during non peak hours may be a good way to ease your family member into the new experience. Just like people, dogs need some time to get comfortable with other dogs.

Pet Park Tip 2 - Pet Dog and Owner Injury Prevention
We like to think that are dogs will never be the problem child, but it happens. Work to prevent injuries to all park patrons by supervising your dog closely at all times. If your dog happens to inflict injury to any patron, provide you name and telephone number to the injured party. All owner’s are responsible for their dog’s actions. Prevention is key.

Pet Park Tip 3 - Pet Dog Waste
Picking up the result of your dog’s potty break is one of the single most important tips for those visiting pet dog parks. There are not an over abundance of dog parks so think of it as a treasure you want to protect. As pet owners, we need to promote the ongoing success of the dog parks. This means picking up after our dogs and even picking up after others who did not pickup after their dogs. Work on leaving the area cleaner than it was when you arrived. It’s a small price to pay for being allowed to enjoy parks with your dog.

Venetian Waterway Park: A pet friendly park in Venice Florida

February 2nd, 2006 by admin in Pet Parks

Park Overview
The Venetian Waterway Park provides visitors with a peaceful way to experience the scenery of Venice Florida while enjoying some light exercise with their pet. Located along the Inter Coastal Waterway, this pet friendly park boasts local wildlife, picnic areas, ample bench seating, shade, and emergency call boxes. You get to enjoy all of these amenities while walking, cycling or rollerblading on the paved path situated next to the water. Sound good? Well, as an added bonus, if you make the entire 1.9-mile adventure, the path takes you right to Caspersen Beach.

Pet Friendly Exercise
For those of you always on the search for Pet Friendly locations, add the Venetian Waterway Park to your list. This park is superb when it comes to exercising your pet. The park path is paved, but has plenty of grass for potty breaks along the way. If your pet decides to fertilize the grass, please pick up the waste and place it in the pet waste cans. To continue, there is plenty of room for your pet to run around, but I would advise keeping your pet on a leash at this park. I suggest a leash because the park is not fenced. In addition, you do see the occasional cyclist or rollerblader and you want to avoid accidents for safety reasons. The last thing we want is an accident.

Exercise and scenery is the best use of this park. Your furry family member may get the chance to hob-knob with other pets, but this park is not the place to come if that is your primary focus. There are other pet friendly parks in Venice that are better suited for a social hour. I will provide a summary of those parks later. If you are coming to Venice and want to know about a couple of them ahead of time, look up Brohard Paw Park and Woodmere Paw Park. You may be able to find articles about them. Both are fenced and Brohard provides beach access.
