Dog Park Etiquette

Tips from our friendly Rangers on good dog etiquette when out and about with your pooch in the Shire of Denmark.

  • Stay alert and monitor your dog
  • Keep walking, this will reduce territorial behaviour
  • Prevent your dog from jumping up on other people or other dogs
  • Ask for permission before patting another dog
  • Consider coming back another time if the area is crowded
