Puppies also have open growth plates which are especially fragile. Rough play could potentially cause damage to these growth plates. Smaller play groups such as puppy classes, ensure the puppies are similar in size and are up to date on their vaccines.<\/p>\n<p>For our older, possibly arthritic dogs extended amounts of play can be detrimental.\u00a0 The excitement and adrenaline rush kick in and they pull us across the parking lot to the park or day care.\u00a0 This can result in dogs not feeling discomfort from joint pain.\u00a0 In these cases a dog can easily overdo it, which can ultimately lead to\u00a0arthritic dogs becoming lame later that day or even into the following days!\u00a0 Shorter play times may be more appropriate, but if your dog is still coming up lame, a less intense form of enrichment may be more appropriate and this may warrant a recheck visit at you veterinarian&#8217;s office.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-557 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pawsitivestepsrehab.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Dog-park-blog-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"401\" height=\"529\" \/>Behavior <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Some dogs simply don\u2019t like to hang out with strange dogs, larger groups of dogs, and\/or other dogs in general .\u00a0 Going into a daycare or dog park environment can be stressful for them.\u00a0 Dog parks are an attractive option to allow your dog to run while being in an enclosed area. However, if your dog doesn\u2019t care of other dogs, try visiting the park during slow times or walk laps around the park with your dog instead of hanging out in the popular spots.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 On the opposite hand, we can have dogs that are too friendly.\u00a0 This can range from over-excited greetings to full-on bullying.\u00a0 If your dog is coming on too strong with others, they should be leashed and removed the situation before it escalates.<\/p>\n<p>Familiarizing yourself with dog body language before heading to the dog park can be very beneficial.\u00a0 Dogs communicate primarily through body language and can be quite expressive if you know what to look for.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Moderation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Dog parks and day care can be a fantastic outlet for our pets., but as our dog\u2019s advocates, it is our responsibility to ensure their safety.\u00a0 While accidents may happen, understanding your dog can help prevent them.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, Dr. Ellen Lindell VMD DACVB wrote an excellent article about dog parks.\u00a0 While the focus is on dog parks, similar concepts can be applied to day cares as well.\u00a0 To read the article, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/blog\/decoding-your-pet\/201504\/the-bark-park\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">click here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>The International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants produced the posters used in this blog.\u00a0 To learn more visit <a href=\"https:\/\/m.iaabc.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iaabc.org.<\/a>\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before you head out to the dog park\u2026 By Angelia Oliverei, LVT &amp;
