Visiting the Dog Park?

Help keep your dog safe. If you see any of the following behaviors, you need to intervene, interrupt, and pull your dog out.
1: Rolling

When one dog makes physical contact with another and knocks into him, causing him to tumble, somersault or roll over.
2: Tucked Tail

When the dog’s tail is so low the base is pressed tight to the anus. The tip of the tail is often under the stomach.
3: Pinning

When one or more dogs has another dog on its side or back for more than 5 seconds.
4: Hiding or Hovering

When the dog spends more than 5 seconds underneath something or hovering near a human. Dog’s tail will be low or tucked.
5: Group Chase

When more than one dog is chasing another dog. This can quickly become out of control.
