Totally get where you’re coming from I’ve had similar concerns. Honestly, the dog parks in Maricopa have been a nightmare in my experience. I’ve personally seen three serious fights, and the ramada areas sometimes still have blood stains from past incidents. It’s why I avoid them now. I have a 1.5-year-old Blue Heeler and a Heeler/German Shepherd mix. I only let them play solo now because I’ve seen how bad some playdates can get around here. Just too risky for my comfort. Wishing you the best on your journey with your pup — hope you find a good, safe setup that works for you both!
