Most dogs love romping with friends at the dog park, but it can be difficult to find the right park for your pet. Here are some of our favorite dog parks in Kansas City.
Dog Park Etiquette:
- Off-leash areas are usually only for dogs and their handlers.
- Dogs should be well-trained to socialize appropriately with other dogs.
- Handlers are responsible for their dogs and assume all risks related to using a dog park.
- City dog license rules will apply. Often, this mandates that your dog must be spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and healthy.
- Young children are not allowed in dog parks. Adults must accompany older children.
- Handlers must clean up after their dogs and dispose of all waste.
