Although being at the dog park with your dog is great fun, you have to remember that there are a lot of other dogs there too, so good "doggy" etiquette is very important to have a safe and fun time at the dog park... And a good way to find out how ready you are to take your medium-sized dog to the dog park is to take this fun informative quiz:
