[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a little surprised by all the vitriol towards this idea. I live in NYC, a much more densely populated urban area than DC, and the two main parks, Central and Prospect, both have off leash hours in certain areas of the park, 6 am to 9 am, and after 9 pm, I believe (though I never take my dog into the park that late).

For all the people complaining about DC residents letting their dogs run off leash at all hours and locations, I think this would actually alleviate that problem. I only let my dog off leash in the designated times and locations, but if there were no place for him to truly stretch his legs (and a small fenced dog park is not the same), I would probably occasionally take my chances just whenever. Offering dogs a specific time to let their zoomies out cuts down on round the clock loose dogs.

Is there no park large enough in DC to allow an area for dogs to run early in the morning, before it gets busy? [/quote]

I go to NYC often andi don’t think I’ve run into off leash dogs in the middle of the street. DC has its own special ring level of hell owners and nasty dogs. [/quote]

You are dumb. And you can’t read.[/quote]
