[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is the only city that I'm aware of that has no actual dog park. There are little fenced enclosures, but no place where it is legal to walk your dog off leash.

This is really difficult for those of us at the opposite end of the spectrum trying to raise HIGHLY trained dogs. My personal dog is a certified therapy dog and I have also raised puppies for the blind. To get them to a certain level of training, you need to off leash them. They need to learn to fixate on their handler and ignore all distractions to get to the point where the leash is decorative. It's hard to train this if you have a dog with perfect recall but is learning to say, relax on a bench in a place command when told to stay. The owner needs to walk away to proof that command and training, but even though we are talking about EXTREMELY well behaved dogs there is always some Karen is going to get her panties in a wad a Golden Retriever is chilling on a bench with the leash dropped and scream at you or call the police. My current dog is about as controlled as you could get, but I am trying to teach K9 drills for fun. This can't really be done on a lead. We go to empty places late at night to train but it would be nice to have a large space to practice during the day. [/quote]

[b]Boo effing hoo. Follow the law, which requires your dog to be on a leash. Best believe I will call you out if I see you.  [/quote]

+100. I don't give a crap about guide dogs or the bind. You want to engage in that crap hobby move to the country. [/quote][/b]

np Wow!  Just wow.  I hope neither one of you has any need for those blind dogs.[/quote]
