Places to Go
This is a list of places I like to go. I've been to almost all of these myself! The information here is accurate as far as I know (you do know that dogs don't read signs, right?), but please check any links provided for most recent hours, policies, etc. Email us at webmaster@ocdogworks.com if you know of places near you!

Basic Dog Park Etiquette
- be up to date on all vaccines and shots (this is required for almost all dog parks)
- make sure your dog is socialized and gets along with other dogs (and people) before going to the park
- clean up after your dog
- keep an eye on your dog - it is your job to protect your dog and others from your dog
- make sure your dog is calm before you enter the dog park
