Please be accountable in off-leash canine parks

I take my canine to off-leash canine parks (largely Dogwood or Blackie Spit n South Surrey) to provide them the possibility to socialize with different canine and to get some train.

I watch them intently in case they defecate and/or get right into a scrap with different canine. I do my finest to scrub up after them, and I intervene within the uncommon altercation. I additionally stop them from chewing a stick. (Sticks might be very harmful when chewed, as shards of wooden can lodge within the mouth, throat, abdomen, and/or intestines, requiring surgical procedure.)
