Dog Park 101 is an
informational
class that teaches dog park etiquette and safety.
It is recommended that all park patrons attend one of these
classes. The class teaches how both handlers and
dogs should behave in a dog park. This is for the courtesy
and
safety of both dogs and humans. Here you will learn why the
park
rules are important.

dates.
