[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I’d be furious if I purchased a nice home in a quiet neighborhood and then there was a public dog park or kennel positioned adjacent to my property. It’s not really reasonable.[/b]

A dog park should be subject to the same laws as the local ordinance where the other people reside. E.g. if a dog can’t bark more than once in each 15 minute interval or whatever without being fined in one of the nearby houses, then that should apply for dog parks too. Unless the parks are far away from residential properties and those types of rules aren’t in effect.

I don’t live in that area, but I live somewhere else without large yards and I can’t have the pets I’d like either, because I just don’t live in a suitable area for it. People need to accept that having a pet is not a right when it infringes on others’ rights, and I think it’s pretty clear that people should be able to enjoy peace and quiet in their own home save for things like regular traffic noise.[/quote]

There is no expectation that a public dog park would need to follow the same rules as a residential home. Lucky for these people, this is a dog park. Imagine them attempting to shutdown a public park because the wrong children were using it too loudly.[/quote]

Dogs don’t equal children.

I love dogs so, so much but please don’t try to equate kids and dogs. [/quote]

It has been a dog park for many years, it just wasn't a particularly nice park until last year. And, it's the quietest dog park I have ever been to, because owners are incredibly diligent about stopping their dogs from barking.

Also, what's lost in all the controversy is that it's a place of real, genuine community. In the 20+ years I've lived in this city, [b]I've never experienced a place that brings people together like this dog park.[/b] It may be in one of the wealthiest sections of the state, but the people are genuinely nice and welcoming, and I'm one of those District dog owners that lives very close to the border and frequent this park regularly.[/quote]

1. That is totally sad.
2. Yes dog parks bring community together, I agree.
3. I think this is the problem with parts of DC/MD, no community.[/quote]
