Walking your dog in Paris can sometimes be complicated depending on the arrondissement. But fortunately, you can find a dog park in Paris in some arrondissements. The ideal is to find a dog park close to home. So where to find a dog park in Paris?

Playdogs, the canine space census application

Founded by a Swiss developer, playdogs lists dog parks and walking areas near you . The user experience could be improved but it is the ideal application to find out where you can enjoy a dog park nearby.

Dog parks are good but…

Dog parks are a valuable help but you have to understand their limits:

-Just because you're in a dog park doesn't mean your dog is exercising.
-You cannot control the dog park's visitors, so it is possible that your dog will have bad encounters.
-Dogs that are mostly super excited and meet to socialize in a dog park, this is not socialization. The risks of fighting are increased.
-Many dog ​​owners improvise as dog trainers in dog parks.
-Dog parks are often small, next to homes and do not allow dogs to really exercise.

Official dog parks and unofficial dog parks

It is important to know that in Paris many spaces are not authorized but areas that dog owners have appropriated have become "dog spaces" that can be called dog parks. The peak hours of dog parks are generally outside office hours.

Forest walks remain the best option to date

Whether you are going through a dog walking service in the forest as we suggest or you find the time to do it yourself, walking in the forest remains the best way to tire your dog. Socialization in my opinion in a safer way with lower levels of excitement than those found in Parisian dog parks.
