Suggested Dog Park Rules A successful dog park needs rules that are easy to understand and visibly posted. Dog park rules are usually drawn up by the park department and the affiliated dog park association whose members provide an example to other dog owners and exert peer pressure to enforce the rules. • Dog feces must be cleaned up by owners. Due to the concentration of dogs in one area, feces must be removed in order to prevent transmission of parasites, reduce odor, and promote general cleanliness. Many dog parks supply bags to pick up feces for free or at minimal cost which encourages compliance. • Dog owners must be in the park, within view, and be able to maintain voice control of their dogs at all times. This encourages dog owners to seek some level of training for their dog and promotes appropriate dog behavior through strict supervision. Owners are present to observe and clean up when their dog defecates.
