Tails 'N Trails Dog Park — Attraction in Arlington

For the fist time 1/7/19 I took my beloved dog to Tails N Trails. WE WILL NEVER COME AGAIN! There clearly are signs stating the rules and yet some people don't feel that rules apply to them. A family arrived shortly after I did with a dog that clearly should have been on the BIG DOG side according to height and weight but instead they had the big Husky on the small dogs side. Then shortly after that a family comes with what appears to be 2 identical Pitts that were clearly aggressive even before entering the small dogs area. The dogs were small enough in size but to aggressive for the other small dogs. It wasn't 5 minutes and the 2 dogs were attacking another dog. It's wasn't one of the Pitts it was both coming after this dog. The parents of those Pitts just stood there and watched. It wasn't until the parent of the dog that was being attacked had to scoop her furry baby up and yelled "OH MY GOD" that the Pitts parents even walked over. Just my opinion but those 2 would have been able to hold their own in the BIGGER DOG AREA. I decided to leave and I could see that others started to do the same. RULES ARE MADE FOR A REASON PEOPLE, PLEASE...

Great dog park! If you're interested in walking through a park setting with your dog off the leash, this may be the place for you! When you drive up, the park appears to be a regular open play park, just like many other dog parks you visited. Wide open space with seperate entrances, and play areas, for big and small dogs. We have large breed dogs so, I can only comment on the big dog side...

Behind the large, open area dog run is an awesome walking trail with plenty of (kamikaze) squirrels for you pooch to chase! The trail maybe a quarter of a mile in length (ish) on the big dog side.

This park only has one small negative imho: the park is so spread out that, when a dog owner who isn't teaching their dog proper pooch etiquette, an aggressive dog may hassle you pet more so that when at a park that isn't so spread out.

Definitely worth a visit if you enjoy taking you dog to play...

I'm from out of town and staying in for about month while working here. I discovered this place in a Google search and am glad I did. My 70# 12 year old labmix is even happier.

It is the perfect antidote to being stuck in a hotel room day after day.

It is made up of several large well fenced spaces, some for large dogs, some for small dogs, some clear open fields where the dogs play chase, keep away and fetch to their hearts content. Others are enclosed woods where the people and dogs can ramble or sit on a bench and do whatever. The dogs organize waves of games of tag chasing one another until the another chases the one. Water is readily available.

The park is well lit and well maintained and well used. It is also to be noted that the people who bring their dogs here are a community that encourages to clean up after their pets. Walk here is a delight and...
