Parker Cove Dog Park, Rules and Etiquette
-
All pets are required to be registered with the PCPLP offices as detailed within the Sublease.
-
All pets are required to wear Parker Cove issued pet tags when outside of the Sublease Premises within Parker Cove.
-
Pet tags can now be purchased from the PCPLP offices for registered pets.
-
Separate guest tags are also available for your invitees and guests pets when visiting Parker Cove.
-
Pets outside of the Sublease Premises within Parker Cove without proof of updated registration with the PCPLP offices will be ordered out of Parker Cove, including those making use of the Dog Park.
-
Pet Registration is to be provided each fiscal year to keep the office and homeowner records consistent.
-
Should conflict arise from these items mentioned, consent from the PCPLP for maintaining a pet within Parker Cove will be revoked, and a removal request through the animal control agencies will be pursued.
-
PAY ATTENTION. Your dog is your responsibility. Too many times, dogs get into trouble while their owners are busy doing something else. It's tempting to stand around and chat with other dog owners, or catch up on your voice mails or texts, but every owner needs to watch their dogs for signs of stress or aggression, and must be ready to take appropriate steps. This is for the safety of everyone at the park - including your own dog!
-
Keep your pet on leash if there isn't a sign stating that dogs may run off-leash.
-
Always carry a leash even in a leash-free area. You never know when you may need it.
-
Don't let your dog intimidate, pester or harass other dogs (or people). Even if you think your dog is being friendly, at the first sign that the other dog (or person) is feeling annoyed, stressed or uncomfortable, recall your dog and keep your dog engaged with you for a few moments (to let him calm down) before releasing your dog to play again. If your dog continues to repeat the behaviour, it's time to leave the park.
-
Make sure your dog has a good recall, even with distractions.
-
Always keep your dog close and within sight. Ideally, your dog would be close enough for you to quickly intervene should you need to.
-
Don't bring sick dogs to the dog park. Contagious dogs can infect other dogs; and dogs who are feeling ill or who have been weakened by illness could be injured by the rough- and-tumble play-styles of other dogs in the park.
-
Don't bring female dogs in heat to the dog park.
-
Don't bring young puppies. Their immune systems are not yet fully developed.
-
Never bring more dogs than you can handle if a situation were to arise.
-
Dog parks aren't typically a suitable environment for children. If children are permitted within the park, they should be accompanied by an adult.
-
Don't bring toys - they may cause guarding or territorial issues.
-
If your dog starts behaving aggressively, leash your dog immediately and leave.
-
Leash-free areas are not suitable for aggressive dogs.
-
If you notice other dogs (or owners) behaving in a way that makes you or your dog uncomfortable, leave immediately.
-
No digging! Fill in any holes your dog has created. No one wants to trip in a hole and potentially sprain or break something.
-
Respect the rules of the dog park. Many parks have signage at the entrance that clearly states the rules.
-
Clean up after your dog... every time!
-
Always be present and attentive. It bears stating one more time - your dog relies on you to keep it safe.
