Our four-legged friends need more than just food and water. When it comes to our pets — especially dogs — they’re social by nature, so meeting new friends at the Morristown Dog Park should definitely be on your list of things to do in order to keep your pooch happy and healthy from a mental and emotional standpoint.
Plenty to Do
The Morristown Dog Park is located at Jaycee Field, and it’s open from 7 a.m. until 9:30 p.m. daily. So why choose a dog park? Well, first of all watching your dog socialize with others will give you a better understanding of how your dog behaves in certain situations. Think your doggo is nervous around new friends? That may not be the case, and you’ll get insights by noticing if your dog is friendly with other humans and dogs, or if they need more time to get used to one or the other. Plus, let’s not forget that at a dog park, your pup is getting a lot of exercise. Got a pup that’s starting to resemble a couch potato? Let your pup run and play to provide them the opportunity for exercise that they otherwise wouldn’t receive.
Party Time
Proper socialization is incredibly important to your dog’s health. Have you been at work all day? Taking your doggo to a dog park can aid its ability to bond with you and your family. Being alone too much can affect your dog’s mental health, affect their ability to behave, and just stress them out in general. When you let your dog play with other dogs in a safe environment, it helps to relieve your dog’s anxiety and stress after a day away from you. And hey, it also allows them to become accustomed to public spaces and interactions with others. This makes a dog park a great way to help your dog grow into the best versions of themselves.
