Here are some reasons to visit your nearest dog park:

1. Give your dog some off-leash exercise, especially if he/she doesn't have that opportunity at home.

2. Let your dog play with other dogs he/she otherwise wouldn't get a chance to.

3. Meet other nearby dog owners/lovers and socialize with them.

4. Get out of the house yourself.

5. Test your dog's ability to get along with other dogs and learn what types of dogs are best for them to play with.

6. Provide happiness for your dog!

7. Some dog parks have equipment for the dogs to try out like tunnels and hills that can be a test for a dog's agility that would be fun for them.

8. You get to see other dog breeds and perhaps learn which one would be best for your next one.

In any event, going to a dog park can be a happy social event where you can meet others that live nearby and schedule a playdate. When you download the Wagtimeapp, you will be able to continue connections that you have made and find out when they will be visiting. Your dog will love that he can build friendships with other dogs over time!
