And then you can go hiking with your dogs. You will want to put your dog on a leash if you do not completely have your dog trained to be under voice control. Just as you leave the main open area headed toward the blue sky and water of the Puget Sound, you will see a small section of fence.

| The fence looks good, but it is not a real fence. It is just a snippet of fence. |
The trail is fairly easy going down. There are some stair steps that have been carefully placed. Coming back up the hill will warm a hiker up.
The dog park is in a very wooded area laced with trails. Even on a warm summer's day it would be shady and cool.
The official dog park is approximately 7 acres. It is off of Five Mile Drive just south of Fort Nisqually. Get directions.
Point Defiance is a great place to spend a day. There are great places to picnic and wonderful scenery.
We recently visited Owen Beach with the dogs, not far from the dog park.

If you have never been, pack a lunch and come explore. Just be sure to watch out for the dangers of trails that run close to the cliffs. And remember, if you plan to visit the Point Defiance Zoo, you will need to leave your dog behind. Dogs are not allowed at the zoo.

Nice Post
My cousin's dog had the misfortune of being "tangled" on some poison ivy and it was quite a relief that the dog wasn't able to ingest any. But his nose got really itchy and affected. It's a great thing that my brother was able to pull the dog on time so that it's eyes weren't affected, too. We took the dog to the vet immediately since we didn't know what to do. After which, I made sure to read on poison ivy and to get some meds to put inside my first aid kit. For more information, see: http://dogsaholic.com/care/poison-ivy-on-dogs.html
