Eagle Creek Bark Park

Annie on Activities - Thu, August 23 2007

Hello everyone! So my Mom keeps talking about taking me to the bark park, but she's not sure if I'm old enough. I'm a little over 3 months old and I'll get my rabies shot (yucky!) next week. We don't have a big back yard so it would be nice to run around and go a little crazy once in a while. Mom's just afraid it might be too much for me. How old were you all when you went to the park and did your parents do anything special to introduce you to the park? Thanks for any advice!

I think you'll be ok since you have your shots (or will). You could go at an "off" time when there are less dog if you are worried about it being a little too intense right now. Although, Eagle is very big--not like Broadripple where everyone packs into a little tiny place! I think you'll be fine--just take it slow and you'll enjoy it!

We go to Eagle Creek, and there are quite a few puppies who go, too. You parents should stick around you until you get used to it, but you'll probably get the "puppy initiation" from some of the other playful dogs. Hee Hee It's funny to see puppies who got the initiation when they were newcomers, who are know intiating other puppies. The puppy initiation is just rough and tumble play that other dogs put you through.

Pete first went to the Bark Park right when he was 4 months old. He had been introduced to a couple of dogs 1 on 1 prior to going. He did great - wasn't shy at all. There were several other smaller dogs there, but Pete went right for the big dogs to play with. I agree with prior comments that Eagle Creek is so big that there is plenty of room for the dogs, and Annie won't feel crowded in or attacked. Pete would love to meet Annie there for a play date sometime!!!

Mom got me from the Humane Society. Both the staff there and the vet recommended waiting until 6 mo. This way we are more socialized and our natual immunity is built up. You might call and check w/ your vet to be sure.
