Like some others have mentioned, the problems with the park aren't really pertaining to the park…read moreitself. It's usually the people who come to the park. Every so often you get someone not cleaning up after their pet, a rambunctious pup that doesn't know their own size, a h*mper, or an aggressive dog. Those are more owner issues, and with a park being public space, there's no real way to curb that. You just have to be on alert. Besides those things, my main issue is the height of the fences and that IS a park issue. It's right by a road people usually speed through, and among the many dogs I have and foster, one of them is a treeing walker coonhound. If you know anything about that breed, you know they be tree-walking. They tree-walk trees mostly, but they'll happily tree-walk their furry butts right over a fence if it's short enough. These fences are more cake-walk than tree-walk for my hound. I can't bring her here. She will yeet herself over that fence and right off the doggie census. That said, assuming your dog is not a fence-jumping maniac, it's a fun place.

Searching for True Love & Forgiveness? Talk to GOD and get a…read moreDOG! #ReflectDogs Love & Forgiveness Man oh man oh man!! If this had a water feature it would be a five-star Park!! The big dog park and the little dog park are two completely separate parks, in fact you have to walk over a little Bridge to get to the big dog park from the little dog park!! There are plenty of poop bag holders and trash cans and there are a few little benches around for you to sit on. There are a couple of agility items and a fire hydrant!! Wouldn't be a dog park without a fire hydrant. The ground covering is kind of like bark chunks? If you have weak ankles it's a little hard to walk on. But there are some old groceries and plenty of room for your dogs to run around and have fun. There is parking very close although you do have to walk across a little Bridge unless you're going to the small dog park.

It is easy to locate with two handicap parking spaces at the main entrance and numerous other spots further down the road. The road through the park is paved. We entered the dog park through the side entrance. Both entrances have a double fence making it easy to leash and unleash your dog and prevent escapees. It seems most people bring their dogs around 5:30/6 pm weekdays. We are looking forward to attending when more dogs are here. The park has equipment, toys, water, and waste stations. The park was clean without holes and dog poop. Overall, we had a good experience here and look forward to returning!

The park is amazingly big with plenty of room for dogs to run around freely, meet and greet, and play with other dogs. There is a small dog area, a large dog area, and an agility area. There are benches and water fountains in each area. The large dog area has pools in it for dogs to get wet. I do wish there was one in the small dog area however I don't mind going in the large dog area so that my Shadow can enjoy and cool off. The agility area has a few obstacles that pets can run and jump on. The areas are large enough for you to get some steps in, sit and watch your pets, or play with them. While we were there two other dogs and I met some very nice dog owners. I will definitely be taking Shadow at least once a week.

First time I came here a girl brought her eight week old puppy into the large dog side when there were some big damn dogs up in here. We tried to politely explain that maybe not the best idea because she hasn't had her shots and she could be hurt. She got super angry and stormed out. Said the puppy had her shots (um, no) and then glared at everyone from the small dog side. Second time some dudes dog comes and pees on my leg, no big deal except that's a training opportunity. He said I "shouldn't have worn such nice stuff to a dog park." I was wearing dirty jeans and three year old boots. I don't care if dogs jump on me, jump on my boots, get me filthy with black mud. That I can just remove. If your dog pisses on my damn shoes that's a different story and while it happens, it's an opportunity for you to say "NO!" And explain to your dog that we don't pee on people. Instead he literally laughed. So yeah, nice enough dog park with clueless people who don't pick up their dog shit. The good outweighs the bad but don't be surprised when people act a fool.

The plan was to start 2 months from the time of the interview and we had to schedule all sessions and pay up front. We paid $500 and waited. From the beginning the trainer seemed afraid of our dog. She used a huge amount of treats every session- to the point our dog vomited the last session. A "behavior report" was sent with plans for the next week. These were cut and pasted, as evidenced by the fact that there was another dog's name on the report. We decided to cancel our remaining two sessions. We felt participating in three was enough. We cancelled with two weeks notice but we're denied a refund. Would absolutely not recommend working with this business.
