Welcome to the Original Austin Dog Friendly list where Mouse and I have enjoying dog friendly hangouts since 2002. Dog socialization is just as important as human socialization. There are consequences for not socializing your dog. *Best viewed in Firefox. If you don't hear back within 24 hours, please email me again or call me at 512-659-9190.

Points to Remember (Help keep Austin Dog Friendly):

While you may allow your dog to eat human food, don't allow your dog to eat other people's food.

Makes sure your dog is reasonably clean. No one wants to have lunch next to a stinky dog. Nor does anyone want fleas.

Only bring well-behaved, human and dog friendly pets. Please seek professional training to address those issues before taking your dog in public. Aggressive dogs have been one reason businesses have changed their policies. See our supporters page for training recommendations. Canine Good Citizen Testing is also a good idea for all dogs.

Make sure your dogs are up to date on shots. Carry your rabies certificate in the car.

Please only allow your dog to only potty away from the main areas, and please clean up any accidents.

Not everyone loves dogs (yes, I know). Respect those people's wishes.

Not everyone has common sense or decency. People will yank on your dog, sit on your dog, feed your dog things they shouldn't eat, and hurt your dogs in other ways. Don't be afraid to correct those people's behavior for the sake of your dog.

Leash Free Parks - ALWAYS check out the park to make sure

1. You and your dog will be safe from other dogs, people, or traffic.

2. That it is a leash free park.

3. Always keep a copy of current vaccinations on hand when going out.

4. Do not take puppies under 16 weeks as they are still susceptible to parvovirus.

5. Make sure you can still control your dog as not all dog parks are fenced.

6. Maintain control of your dog at all time. Be aware of dog body language and know how to keep your dog and other dogs safe.

7. If your dog is not friendly, you have two options. 1. Socialize and correct that behavior. or 2. Keep your dog at home.

8. Remember, that it only takes one person to screw it up for the rest of us. Now Pace Bend Park has a leash-law instead of allowing dogs to be off-leash. Thank you to the irresponsible person who made this to happen.

	1. Auditorium shores from South First to Bouldin Avenue
	2. The soccer field area of Zilker Park between Barton Springs Road, Stratford Drive and Lou Neff Drive *Wi-Fi*Read about the City of Austin Outdoor Mesh Wireless Project
