Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.
Subject: off leash dog park Sat Jun 01, 2013 1:57 pm
So out on our walk this morning I discovered the local fenced in park allows off leash play early weekend mornings. I had no idea how Alenko would react to other dogs since he's only been home with me for a few days. I asked the other owners if we could test him out and they had no worries. So I brought Alenko in on his leash and watched as he sniffed the other dogs and seemed ok so I let him go off leash. I have to say it was a truly wonderful experience to watch him run and play with 6 other huskeys. I'll take a video next time and share it here.

Oops. Thought I posted in the general forum. Can a mod move it?

sometimes on weekend we go on pack walks with 10+ dogs and there is always 1 or 2 huskies its great watching them play altogether off their leads

Here's the first video of Alenko running in the park. He's so happy after the run he'll plop down on the floor when we get home and just grin at me.
The second video is of Alenko playing with a puppy. I don't think I've ever seen a more gentle dog. As soon as the puppy pounced on him he just rolled over and started playing on his back. Keep in mind he had just met this puppy 10 minutes earlier.

Nice videos! He really looks happy to be playing with his new friends.
You are Lucky to have more huskies that go to the park. They are actually fast enough to play chase with one another.
My husky's best playmate is a female Cane Corso and she gave up chasing him long ago. He'd love to play with yours. He seems to be a quick one too. That golden didn't stand a chance.
