While Cesar encourages everyone to exercise their dog on a regular basis, he also reminds you to keep in mind that a good pack leader maintains leadership even at the dog park. Here are 5 tips Cesar has for dog owners who want to demonstrate good pack leadership.

Dear Cesar,

I follow your advice on being a strong pack leader at the dog park. On the rare occasions that I take my dogs to the dog park, I notice humans not applying discipline if their dogs get in a fight (or potential fight).

In America, there are not many places where we can let our dogs roam off-leash, so we really have to maintain the safety of the few areas that we do have. If too many accidents occur or if a human gets hurt, these areas may be closed down. But if these dog parks are examples of safe canine interaction, this can encourage cities and counties to make more places available to our canine companions.
