I have bouts of tennis elbow and it hurts to walk her (golden retriever) if she pulls. She is trained to walk but doesn't always do it right because she gets so excited.

Sure. It'll be better for both of you. She gets her exercise and energy out and you get to rest your elbow. Just make sure when you don't have your bouts to walk her. Otherwise, she'll never learn how to behave when you do walk her.

I think they get more exercise at the dog park. Depends on how social your dog is and how much she likes to play. I have 2 border collie mixes...and I couldn't walk them enough to get them their exercise. But they love to run freely and play at the park with each other or with other dogs. But, if your dog doesn't socialize with others and the park is big enough you can walk the park and generally your dog will follow.

The dog park gives interaction for the dogs which is good, however your dog needs 1 on 1 interaction with you also,as walking

no, it's not. walking your dog every day is key. if you ever watch the dog whisperer show, or read his book (Cesar's way) he can explain it much better than i can.... but i've been taking his advice with my own dog... and the results are amazing, really! :) the dog park is a great "extra" work out... but he says walking should come before any other play exercise etc... you should check it out, it's amazing.

Yes as long as you do it consistently. Or consider hiring someone else to walk your dog for you. As long as your dog is getting exercise thats all that matters.

If you take her to the Dog park, that should be fine. As long as she can get some exercise.

As long as you take her to the dogpark every day (or just about everyday) - they need lots of exercise because their kind of a hyper dogs.

Yeah definitely. I mean just as long as you take her somewhere where she can get out of the house and exercise.
