West Allis Dog Park — Attraction in West Allis

First time coming to this particular dog park. The space is a decent size, nothing to crazy. Lots of water bowls. We did see quite a few piles of poo not picked up. We brought our rescue and our pit and 2 huskies attacked our pit and the owners of course pointed the finger because he was a pitbull.

Socialization is so important in dogs and is a required step in properly raising a dog. Dog parks allow for that and help prevent dog behaviors that lead to an increased likelihood of dogs being given up to shelters or abandoned. Early spaying/neutering causes several health problems as well as other behavioral issues such as fear aggression. I will put my dogs health and well being above a nice park visit. People should know these policies cause the very issues they...
