Etiquette for off-lead parks

• Recall trained first. If your dog won't return on first call, stay leashed. Practice recall in your back garden + on the long-line before you trust an open park.
• Watch for other dogs' body language — stiff posture, raised hackles, lip-licking = back off. Not every dog wants to play.
• Always carry poop bags; on-the-spot fine in many Kilkenny council areas is €150.
• Check pavement temperature in summer with our Walk Safety Forecaster.
• Lead law in Ireland: dogs must be under "effectual control" — that means on a lead OR reliably trained. Restricted breeds (Bull Terrier types, Akita, Doberman, etc.) MUST be on a lead + muzzle in public regardless of training.
