dog park etiquette thing I wish more parents knew too

If your kid is scared of dogs, genuinely no judgment. But please don't bring a squealing toddler *inside* the off-leash area to practice bravery on a Saturday afternoon. My dog is polite and even then I spend the whole time managing everyone else's chaos. There has to be a better classroom.

YES. Off-leash parks are not petting zoos.

People underestimate how fast a running kid changes the whole environment.

I have kids and dogs and I still agree. Use the outside fence first.
