At the SaddleBrooke Dog Park, we are committed to providing a safe and enjoyable environment for all dogs and their owners. Try these tips to ensure a safe and enjoyable visit.
Resolve Issues Using Communication
We believe in fostering a sense of community among SBDP dog owners. To ensure a harmonious and safe environment for all, we encourage members to engage in open communication and take proactive steps to resolve issues that may arise during their visits.
If you find yourself in a situation where you're uncomfortable with another dog's behavior or the actions of their owner, consider starting a polite and respectful conversation. Oftentimes, issues can be resolved through simple communication. Approach the other owner calmly and express your concerns. Seek to engage the owner in a constructive discussion to understand their perspective and discuss potential solutions. Sometimes, a change in behavior, leash usage or a simple apology can go a long way in resolving minor conflicts.
Prioritize Safety
Our safety protocol is guided by official SBDP rules and Arizona State Law Statutes 11-1014 & 11-1025. If there is an aggressive incident, a dog or owner bite, or any situation that poses an immediate threat to safety, please report the incident as soon as possible. This will help us take appropriate measures to address the situation.
It’s the AZ LawI
f the incident involves a dog bite, it must also be reported to the Pinal Animal Care and Control at (520) 509-3555 per Arizona state law. Other mandates include that the dog shall be quarantined for at least 10 days and the owner of a dog that bites a person is also liable for damages suffered by the person bitten.
