What is considered a Large Dog vs. Small Dog?
A – Large Dogs are usually considered those 31 lbs or more. However, if there are six 20 lb. dogs in the Small Dog area, the 30 lb dog owner should use discretion and consider moving their dog to the large dog area. Exceptions may be if several 100+lb dogs are playing in the large dog area, then a 40lb dog would be considered a small dog. Again, owners must be aware of their own dog’s behavior when dealing with large and/or small dogs and use their best judgment. Small dog owners should note that some large dogs will respond to a small dog as prey and instinctively act accordingly – it only takes a second for a tragedy to occur. Do not put your dog in danger! Small dogs should only be in the Small dog area. If you do not feel your dog fits into either group, perhaps it is a good time to take a walk around the park and come back in 10 minutes or so to check on the situation.
