Dallas Dog & Disc

Looking to get your pup involved with some sort of athletic event well for those interested in having a flying Frisbee dog you need to check out Dallas Dog & Disc Club. They meet on the second Saturday of every month to practice and show off some skills. We have not been out to a practice but did get a chance to see them perform at a qualifying event in Irving and it was very impressive. When it comes back around I will make sure to post the event so you can check it out.

Unleashed, the indoor dog park

We have heard good things about Unleashed but have not been able to get over there and check it out first hand. One note is that you need to check out there web site to make sure that you dog is up to date on all their shot and you need to bring your dogs medical records to that you can prove it. We are waiting until after our Rottie is fixed before we make a visit.

White Rock Dog Park

The White Rock Dog Park is located on North end of White Rock Lake on Mockingbird. It is broken down into 3 sections: small dogs (under 30 lbs), large dogs (over 30 lbs) and a water section for you pup to get out and swim. From what we can tell there is an unwritten rule that large dogs are do not go into the small dog section but anyone is allowed into the large dog section. The water section is open to all types of dog who want to take a plunge into the lake.

There are a couple of tables & some chairs around the park that are available on a first come first serve basis but be cautioned that once you sit down you are subject to uber friendly dogs coming up and saying "hi." Most of the dogs are well behaved and once you start going you will start seeing regulars and you dog and you will develop some pretty good friendship.

Cautions: after a rain the middle of the park turns into a mud puddle. There is no enforcement out there so not all dogs are vaccinated or altered so it is best to make sure that you are up to date on heart & worm medicine so your buddy does not bring anything home with them.

Positives: Large area, fresh drinking water, wide variety of dogs.
