Are Bark Parks Too Risky?
Ive taken my dogs to all the bark parks in my area. Other than a few minor problems here and there, my dogs are well socialized with other dogs. The drawback is no one monitors the parks even though they are sponsered by the city. That means there is no regulating pets that may have a potential disease, or dogs that havent had their shots. It can also be a place to get kennel cough.
It's easy to see that the dogs obviously enjoy it, but I'm wondering if other than that if there is any benefit that outweighs the risk someone takes by taking their pet to a public bark park.
