Beyond the Dog - Dallas

If you see another dog or your own dog showing this behavior, the dog park is not a good place for you and it’s time to leave!

1.) If a dog enters the dog park, is greeted by other dogs, and immediately runs away with their tail tucked oftentimes vocalizing.

2.) If a dog is overly physical, constantly chasing and biting other dogs without ever reciprocating vulnerable body positions.

3.) If a dog is showing clear signs of aggression such as hackles raised, consistently stiff body language, and growling and snapping towards other dogs.

If your dog has good social skills and you want to take them to the dog park, always stay on the sidelines first and watch if any dogs are exhibiting the above behavior. If they are, wait for those dogs to leave before entering to ensure safe, positive fun!
