Westchester County has over 50 parks and recreational areas, a fraction of which our canine friends control. Socializing your dog is crucial for your sanity. You'll be amazed at how some dogs mellow out after continuous interactions with fellow tail waggers. My dog would always bark at other dogs and not want to leave my side. I had to start slow and be consistent with her, now she is a totally different dog. I'm here to tell you that you CAN teach an old dog new tricks. Below, I have compiled a small list of my favorite dog parks and runs.
1) Scout Field - Bronxville - Not many people know about this best kept secret, hurry before it gets crowded.
2) Ward Acres Park - New Rochelle - They have a fenced in area for the dogs to mingle and also lots of trails.
3) Hunt Woods - Mt Vernon
4) Elmsford Dog Park - This park has a separate fenced area for the dogs. Please note that your dog MUST have a vaccination tag on them, its strictly enforced.
