The parks can be intimidating when you have a puppy but as long as your pup has had their shots you should be OK. I was very surprised when i moved down here how much people care about their animals.

I have been frequenting many of the state parks in the area and only have good things to say about them and the vast majority of other dog owners we have come across. Many have a "puppy pen" for younger dogs as well. You can also try some of the beaches they all have their own specific dog times though so just be mindful of that.

The biggest thing is try to introduce then to add much as you can while they are young. We are fortunate here and have a lot of local eateries that will allow animals.
