Dog Park Etiquette
Community Scoop interactive dog parks are designed to encourage friendly, caring and informative discussions. All well-meaning questions, answers and opinions are welcomed and treated with respect. Spiteful, discourteous and other inappropriate comments will get you thrown in the dog house without warning. This applies to spam and/or advertising attempts. If you state a claim as fact (versus expressing a personal opinion), or alert us to a news story, please provide relevant reference links. We will include links at our own discretion. The opinions expressed in Community Scoop interactive dog parks are the opinions of those who post and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the Dog Food Scoop Team. In other words, they are your words, not ours. The Dog Food Scoop Team will do their best to also answer as many questions as possible. However, we're a small pack burning the midnight oil on our site, and struggling to find enough hours in the day! We really need to free up our time to push forward with our detailed dog food reviews, and other important articles on our long "To Do List".
