Owning a dog with my girlfriend, I am always wondering why public parks don’t allow pets. In my opinion, if you can take care of your pet, they should be allowed to roam the public parks like anybody else. I mean, we are able to take them on public sidewalks, do why not a park? Is the city scared of doggy poop? People throw all their chicken bones and leftover ribs all over the ground. Why not prohibit that? As a responsible pet owner, we always carry a bag to throw away our dog’s waste when he does do his business. We don’t just leave it on the ground for others to step on.
So why do we have to take our dogs to a specific doggy park? I understand that it gives the dogs a chance to socialize, but why do we have to segregate them from other grassy areas? OK, I’ll admit that not all dog owners are responsible people. You can prohibit those people, or give them warnings until it is prohibited for them to bring their dogs until they are able to properly train them. But for the other dogs who are trained properly, it is very unfortunate to keep them within the walls of a condo and not allowing them to be outside besides the sidewalk next to speedy cars.
Just my opinion.
