Off Leash Dog Friendly Parks

Post image for Off Leash Dog Friendly Parks

by jtclough on February 8, 2010

Dogs need to exercise. Big dogs, little dogs, most dogs need to run for a bit every day to maintain health and fitness

…….and to most people’s liking, their good behavior.

Leash free parks and providing dog friendly spaces in San Diego are more easily found than in many other urban cities.   With the number of dogs and the great fitness opportunities San Diego provides we need more!

Two more parks could be added to the list of places where dogs can run leash-free under a proposal the Encinitas City Council will consider Wednesday, February 10

Its is up to dog owners to be heard on these issues or those who speak louder politically who don’t have dogs outnumber, outwit, and outplay!  Be heard.  Wag more.
If you can’t make the meeting write an e-mail to the City of Encinitas so your dog friendly opinion can be heard.

It does make a difference.
