Some dogs do generally very well with dog parks, but it’s not for every dog. I would venture to say, it’s not for most dogs. You likely have one of those dogs, and that’s okay. If I were you, I wouldn’t lose a wink of sleep over it. #dogtraining #dog #dogparks #Arizona #mesa #dogparkfun | Phantom K9 Training

Every dog is very different in what they need. Some dogs do just fine with a slow paced walk every day, some are happy jogging alongside their humans and some dogs need a full-paced run just to keep them stable minded. My Doberman is one of those dogs. When we were working through reactivity a few years ago, I found he was so much less frustrated and more calm when he had a short run before we trained. It wasn’t a long run either, it was just enough for him to burn that initial burst of energy.
