A special 'dog forrest'


  • Today we went to a forrest that has a fenced part for dogs. It is huge.. so you still have to look for your dog if he takes off.. but… It is a nice feeling that they are 'somewhere' between the fences.
    Here some pictures.


  • Great photos and how wonderful to have an area where they can run and be contained.


  • What an AMAZING experience this must have been…thank you so much for the pictures. :)


  • That is ssoooooooo nice. beautiful pictures…. you ae so lucky to have that!!!! we dont even have a dog park in my county!!!!

    This is the one of the few (if it's not the only one) fenced areas for dogs in the Netherlands.. and it's not 'around the corner' for us.. but yes, it's really nice and definitly worth the drive!


  • KiroGurl, you may have to start an organization to push for the development of dog parks in your city/county. Here in Knoxville, TN we use to have 0 dog parks. We now have two with two more in the planning stages. A young lady that moved here from ??? started a group, went to the city and pushed until she at least got the land provided for a dog park. IN the beginning the volunteers with the group had to do the upkeep (mowing, garbarge removal {and we know what dogs leave as garbage - don't we} etc.). Now the city does the upkeep and the parks are very popular. One of our two current dog parks is at PetSafe Village and the owner of that company donated $500,000 for the development of more dog parks in Knoxville/Knox County!! Thank dog for him!!! There is a story in the August issue of Southern Living on PetSafe Village.


  • Looks like fun. The dog park near me isn't nearly as nice. :(

    Ono is a Hawaiian word, used to describe something that is 'the best' AND happens to be very basenji appropriate :) We hesitated naming her something that so strongly resembled 'no' but we don't use 'no' very much in our training, we say 'hey' to get their attention and then give them another cue to follow when we are redirecting their behaviour. The pups love the huge costco bed, and I love the great cedar smell :)

    Both my pups have their "place" in the bed. Bandit on the left, head down, and Hunter waaayyyy down on the right. Even on hot Summer nights it's the same position!

    **hahaa…Its great how they can "say" so much with their expressions!!! ---SO, there was a breakin in miliraty housing one street up from us, and now im kind of glad Jack is aggressive when it comes to strangers....BAD strangers. Makes me feel safer. He sleeps at the top on the stairs next to my room and his bed faces the front door. SO I KNOw when someone strange is coming into the house. Once when i had a family member (jack didnt know) over, they went out all night and tried to sneek in at 3 in the morning and i heard jack growl like ive NEVER heard before. Sounded like he would have killed...I called him to stop and he did, but now i know when a REAL stranger comes in, Jack with at least give me a chance to prepare myself...!!----- Thats one thing Im thankful for with the recent breakins around here...and its unfortunate because ive always felt SO safe in Military housing...But its some group of teenagers that are Navy brats and live here too....yeay, not.**
