Dog Park in GF




Great News! The GF City Commission and Park Board are working on a plan to build a dog park in Grand Forks!

See the full article in the Grand Forks Herald online by clicking here.

Some benefits of dog parks (from PEI Humane Society)

Studies have shown that dogs that exercise and are allowed to run freely are not as aggressive towards people as dogs that are under-exercised.

Allowing dogs to have an off-leash area socializes dogs.

It brings them in contact with other dogs and causes them to be less aggressive in each future encounter with dogs.

Dog Parks improve the mental state of dogs. After a visit to the dog park dogs are less agitated, more relaxed and in general nicer to be around.
