Well, finally I took him for the first time and it was ok. He has never been around that many dogs at the same time so he was very nervous at first. He's not fixed, so he tends to be a bit dominant/aggressive; however, some people were very friend...

FALL SEASON

Dog play group now meeting every Sunday at 5:00pm at Crockett Elementary in McAllen (corner of Tamarack and Main).

DOG PARK OPENING

The latest information indicates that the new dog park may open in January 2010.

Dog Park Rules

Owners waive liability to the city and dog park organizers for any injury or damage caused by pets in the off-leash area. Handlers are solely responsible for the actions of their dogs.

  • All dogs must be inoculated for rabies. DOGS WITH CONTAGIOUS HEALTH CONDITIONS ARE NOT ALLOWED NEAR THE PARK.
  • Female dogs in heat are not permitted in or around the dog park.
  • Dog treats and food items are not allowed in the dog park.
  • Handlers must carry a leash and remain inside the fenced area within view and voice control of their dogs at all times.
  • Acts of aggression or domination against other dogs or people are prohibited. Dogs must be removed immediately if uncontrollable. Read "Other Important Considerations" below for more on this subject.
  • Handlers must stop dogs from digging and must fill any hole created by their dogs.
  • No littering. Place all trash in receptacles. Handlers must pick up after his/her dogs and dispose of their waste appropriately.
  • No more than three dogs per handler for each visit to the park.
  • Dogs should be treated with flea and tick preventative products such as Frontline Plus or similar.
  • No animals other than dogs shall be permitted in the park.
  • Sale or advertisements of animals for sale is prohibited in or around the dog park.

Other Important Considerations

If any dog becomes aggressive or disruptive, the handler should remove the dog from the fenced area until socialization measures can be undertaken. It is very important that owners of dominant dogs be sensitive to the body language and reaction of other dogs. For example, if the dog is trying to get away, the tail is tucked under, or they are showing their teeth, the dog is displaying signs of fear and submission. The owner MUST interrupt this situation, correct the dominant dog by using a very sharp "NO", and remove him/her from the immediate area. They may also need to leash the dog for a time out or leave the play group for the day. Inappropriate behavior includes humping!
