Clayton Reserve — Attraction in Melbourne

Great spot for dogs with no recall, but I’ve lost count of the amount of dog fights I’ve witnessed here. A lot of people bring poorly trained dogs here, and because it’s a relatively small, fenced in area, there’s nowhere for dogs to escape other dogs leading to altercations.

Wilson is is the biggest dog here and he’s a big slobbering gentle giant! It’s really clean as all dog owners like to look after the place. It’s a secret dog lover’s world I never knew about. Are all dog...
