Pros and cons of Dog Park Assistant app for iPhone and iPad

Dog Park Assistant app good for

Another great idea by Sue Sternberg, a TRUE dog behaviour expert.... EVERY DOG TRAINER and FAMILY should have this app to learn about reading canine body language ACCURATELY.
This app is a great reference for awareness at any dog park. I wish there were a few more play types in the categories section for more calm and passive dogs. For example, my dog likes to trot around and explore while greeting other dogs, but can sometimes over sniff a dog and just pester them.
What an amazing tool to have with you at all times. Easily organized and I love the Red Alert section, very handy!!

Some bad moments

An amazing repository of dog behavior videos, photo and information. It reveals what is often really going on at the dog park.
I have to admit before this app I didnt understand why my dog park visits were often unpleasant. This app reminds you of things you can and should do to make your dog park visit nicer for you and your dog.
If you have a dog, you need this app! Even if you never go to the dog park. And if you are a dog park fan, this will really open your eyes. This should be required study for anyone that goes to the dog park or enjoys watching their dog play.
This app has so much information, its pretty amazing. The more amazing part is the easy to read, easy to watch videos and navigation of the app. Dog behavior can be tricky to understand, especially at dog parks where there is so much happening between dogs. Another great product from Sue Sternberg.
This is a terrific app...all about staying safe in the park. Clear well written descriptions of dog behavior in parks. Categorizes them into risk categories and gives short video examples so you know what you are looking for in your own dog and other dogs. Also has some info on what makes a good dog park. Good for anyone who takes their dog to a dog park or is thinking about it.
I love this. Ill be recommending this to my training clients. This is so well organized, and the information and advice is exactly what you would need to help you make good decisions for your best buddy at the dog park. Sweet!
