Dog Park in Muscatine, IA I think a dog park would be a great idea for the city. Exercise is very important for a dogs' mental and physical health. Socialization is also another great reason to have a dog park. Its also a good way to raise the property values of a community. I believe that a dog park would be good for not only the dogs, but for the owners as well. Exercise, socialization, and love are the key things a dog needs to be happy. The ASPCA says dogs with no exercise can act out by barking and destroying things at home. My friend had a dog that spent most of the time in his kennel, and she got rid of him because he was too hyper and destructive while he was out. Bad behavior caused by dogs being lonely and poorly exercised is partly responsible for 2 million dogs that end up in U.S. shelters every year. So why not …show more content…
Statistics show that 37% of Americans who own dogs often look for a dog park when choosing a place to live. On the other hand, some people believe that a dog park would not be a good idea for the city, and that it would just be a burden for taxpayers and a lawsuit waiting to happen. Some cities require a owner to obtain and display permits to have a dog off-leash at the dog park, but most people do not do so. Most cities rely on the people respecting the parks' rules. Which means if a dog attacks another dog or person, the victim can legally sue the owner and the city for not enforcing the law. That's why I think everyone should obey the parks' rules or the community should better plan a park so everything goes smooth for everyone. Some people also believe it would be a burden by increasing the traffic and the noise in the area. But think about it for your dog, he or she would be much happier to have a fun day at the dog park. With all that said, I think it's a great idea to bring a dog park to Muscatine, IA. Let's do it for the dogs so we can all be a happy family at the end of the
I think dog parks are a good idea. Dogs need alot of exercise and play time. Many cites and urban areas just dont have the room for that to happen. But there are optoins there many open unused lots, and empty building that could be torn down to create these places. I am a dog owner myself i live in the country were open space is abundant. My dog Neno can run a play all he wants it's good for his health and mental state. When he doesn't get out he gets cranky and chews thing around the house. I grew up in a city of five millon, so i know how hepful a dog park can be to dog owners. You should always have your dog around other people, and animals,
My city or anyother city could do without a dog park if they don't already have one. In "No Dog Park for Muscatine" it say that "It would be a burden for taxpayers and a lawsuit waiting to happen." I agree with this the citizen in my town would have to help fund this project no matter if they support it or not.
Why to consider there not be a Dog Park for Muscastine. First, building a dog park will be a very costly project. Secondly, its being considered in a largely populated area and thirdly, the potential demand from other pet owners.
One one hand, the general benifits of a dogpark in an area like Muscatine is incomparable to those of any other public service facility. With a whopping 68% of citizens living in close proximity, such as appartments or rental units, there just isn't much space to let dogs run free. It would be easy for a dog to let that energy build up with no release. This play space would not only help ease the struggle of a yappy next door neighbor, but allow the dog's owner peace of mind as well. I know from experience that coming home to a fuzzy, wound up ball of energy can be exausting day to day. A place to exert all of that energy is benificial to all.
Before you jump to the hasty conclusion that I’m opposed to a dog park because I do not have a dog, let me assure you I do have a dog and am aware of my responsibilities as an owner. The principal argument for a dog park is “exercise is important to dogs’ mental and physical health.” I would take this argument a step further and state exercise is also
I would certainly agree that a dog park is a beneficial addition to a community in which many residents own dogs. The particular benefits that such a public service offers should not, in my opinion, be dismissed.
Dogs should have their own parks,because when dogs aren't getting the physical and mental excercise that they need, their behavior tend to get worse. ASPCA has a study that shows the rate of dogs biting humans went down drastically in places where they're dog parks. ASPCA also believes that if dogs had a park then their would be less incidents of dogs attacking humans,barking, and destroying things. Many dog owners have given their dogs up , because they started to act like''bad dogs'', this is because they don't have a dog park to excercise all their energy everyday.

I believe that a dog park would be an excellent idea for Muscatine, Iowa. Not only would a park benefit the dogs but it would benefit the owners. A dog park would help in raising and caring for the dog. Dogs should be able to play and be free in a space that they will be safe. Not everyone has the space available at their homes. Some people live in apartments that don't have the yard space needed to let the dog run around. Expecially with bigger dogs. They need a lot of room. I can understand why people would be opposed to the idea though. There's always a chance of a dog harming another animal or human. Dogs can carry diseases, fleas, lice, and other harmful things that can be transfered to humans and animals. But if you let yourself

Although both sides give very valid points as to why and why not there should be a dog park in or near the city I lean more towards the side that thinks a dog park would be benefical. Just like anything else there are pros and cons. In paragraph two of "A Dog Park Benefits All" it says "Exercise is important to dogs' mental and physical health. " We want to make sure all animals are healthy and we can do that by adding a dog park to the city where there isn't a lot of room for our furry friends to run and play.
