Many experts suggest diverting the dogs with a loud noise such as an\nair horn or a blast of water from a sports bottle. There will be many scuffles as dogs will be dogs. Dog fights are rare in dog\nparks, but the potential is there. Please talk with your veterinarian if you have concerns about breaking-up a dog fight\ninvolving your dog. If your dog is involved in a dog fight, exchange information with the other owner. Be sure to include your\nname, phone numbers, and vaccination records. If your dog is not involved in the fight, remove your dog from the off-leash\narea. As a courtesy, you should remain nearby until the situation is under control and make sure everyone (dogs and people)\nare all okay. If any of the dogs involved in the incident are clearly aggressive or dangerous, call 911.<br><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HOW DO I REGISTER MY DOGS?All owners must register their dog\/s with The Town of Walworth Recreation Department in order to use The DogPark at Sherburne Road Park.
