Click this link to read the quick details of dog parks located around the twin cities area.   Most are small in acreage, are fenced, and provide poop bags.

Until we have dog parks here in the Billings area, the general public, dog owners and non-dog owners alike, aren’t going to get a handle on the difference between dog parks and wilderness areas.

This lesson in distinguishing the two is perhaps harder for dog owners.  Dog owners need to learn that UNLESS you are in a designated dog park, it is NOT EVER okay to impose your dog on other people, or dogs.

When I take my dog to Norm’s island, she is off-leash if no-one is around.  If another dog approaches and is leashed, I leash my dog.  if another dog approaches that is not leashed, I don’t leash my dog, but I am close in case I have to protect her.  If people without dogs approach or want to pass, I leash, or otherwise, take full control of my dog so as not to impose on their rights.
