EP 72: Dog Park Design and Operations - a Day at the Dog Park with John Sarver

Dr. Judy Morgan and John Sarver, Owner of Gyms for Dogs discuss the benefits and design elements of good dog parks. John, a specialist in pet wellness products and dog parks, emphasizes the importance of cleanliness, proper design, and community involvement. He highlights that dog parks should have separate sections for small and large dogs, and include play equipment to enhance socialization and exercise. John's company has designed thousands of dog parks across North America, focusing on innovative features like water fountains and pooper scoopers to maintain cleanliness. They also stress the need for responsible pet ownership, proper etiquette, and regular maintenance to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment for dogs and their owners.  Would you dog benefit from going to a dog park?  If you think not, this may just change your mind...just like Dr. Judy's outlook changed.  Listen in! www.gymsfordogs.com Social Media:  FB & IG: #gymsfordogs PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT #1 Our pets depend on us for everything, their food, their comfort, their health, but sometimes what we feed them with love can quietly cause inflammation, itching or digestive upset, and they can't tell us why.
