Dog Parks & Dog Beaches in Canada

Leash free dog park!

Please help to save dog parks & dog beaches by observing the following dog park etiquette tips!

DOG PARK ETIQUETTE:

  • Keep your pet on leash if there isn't a sign stating that dogs may run off-leash.
  • Always carry a leash even in a leash-free area. You never know when you may need it.
  • Don't let your dog harass other pets, people, or wildlife.
  • Make sure your dog has reliable recall if you allow him to run off-leash.
  • Always keep your dog in sight and within voice range.
  • Make sure your dog is up-to-date on his vaccinations.
  • Don't bring female dogs in heat to the dog park.
  • Don't bring young puppies. Their immune systems are not yet fully developed.
  • Never bring more dogs than you can handle if a situation were to arise.
  • Don't bring toys - they may cause guarding or territorial issues.
  • If your dog starts behaving aggressively, leash him immediately and leave.
  • Leash-free areas are not suitable for aggressive dogs.
  • No digging! Fill in any holes your dog has created.
  • Respect the rules of the dog park.
  • Clean up after your dog... every time!
 

In Canada, dogs are usually permitted in most regional, provincial, and national parks, but must be leashed. Signs are generally posted where dogs are not permitted in these parks (for example, in environmentally-sensitive areas). Likewise, signs are posted to indicate "off-leash" areas. Dogs are generally not permitted on public beaches except where posted. If in doubt, contact the park office.
