Wag Kind: Be Part of the Team

When dogs and their owners recreate in the outdoors, we are part of a team of trail and park users who need to be respectful of one another in order to maximize the enjoyment of outdoor spaces for everyone.

• Wag Aware: Obeying applicable leash laws is our responsibility—Know the leash requirements of your area parks and trails.

• Wag Inclusive: Off-leash doesn't mean "responsibility-free." Basic obedience training allows you to call your dog away from conflicts with wildlife, other trail users and other dogs.

• Wag No Trace: Don't get caught empty-handed—always bring dog waste bags with you.

• Wag Kind: When you see an on-leash dog in an off-leash area, assume that its owner doesn't feel confident about interactions with other dogs or people. Steer your dog clear of the on-leash dog.

• Wag Safe:  Keep your dog close when on popular biking trails, ski trails and horse trails. Accidents can happen when dogs run in front of other trail users.

• Wag Prepared: Know the trail conditions and if there is water for your dogs or not.  Carry supplemental water to keep your pup hydrated, if needed.
