Responsible Dog Owners get off-leash parks in Morris

In Morris County, New Jersey, USA, residents who wanted a safe place to play with dogs set up a group. Now there are dog parks and good education about dogs.

If you want some good off-leash areas in your locality then setting up a group may pay off. That’s what they did in Morris County:

Morris Area Responsible Dog Owners Group.

In December 2001, I was inspired to create MARDOG after rescuing Max and discovering how much fun it was to go to the dog park. There was no place to play fetch legally in town and so MARDOG was born. A petition was formed but MARDOG grew and became more than a petition.

MARDOG is committed to bringing dog parks to Morris County and educating public officials about the benefits of off-leash recreation. We teach good manners while visiting parks and educate owners about responsible dog ownership, dog park etiquette and respect and consideration for others.

Good work, folks: now dogs can run during daylight hours in the Lewis Morris Dog Run and other local dog parks.
