 Summer
dog regulations for CBJ sport fields and for CBJ parks
will be ending in Spetember
The Summer regulations for sport fields take effect
March 15, 2010. 
The Summer regulations for Sandy Beach and the Rain
Forest Trail take effect May 1, 2010.
The regulations establish specific area and seasonal
requirements for on-leash, leash-optional, and no-dog
areas. Signs at each location describe the
regulations that are in effect in each area. The
regulations for Sandy Beach are complicated because
parts of the beach in front of the picnic shelters are
on-leash until you reach the stream.
However, you must pay attention to the posted signs
because the message on the signs determines what
regulations are in effect at that location.
The Grateful
Dogs Of Juneau reminds dog owners to read the signs that
are posted at CBJ parks and sport fields for up-to-date
information on the regulations that are in effect.
Click here to view the regulations. If you
have questions about the rules for dogs in your favorite
CBJ park or recreation area, contact the CBJ Parks and
Recreation Department.

 Clean
up after your dog: The Grateful Dogs of Juneau
reminds dog owners to pick up after their dogs. In the
last 36 months, dog owners have made great strides in
promoting a dog friendly community by cleaning up after
their dogs. If we continue to clean up after our
dogs, we can make Juneau an even more attractive place
to live and a more dog friendly community.

KEEPING YOUR DOG
SAFE
Keep
you and your dog safe after dark: With
long winter nights, the Grateful Dogs Of Juneau reminds
dog owners to use reflective clothing and safety lights
both on themselves and on their dogs, when walking or
jogging with their dogs after dark. Dogs and
pedestrians that are not visible to drivers are a
hazard. Dog owners should do all that they
can to keep themselves and their dogs safe when walking
or jogging after dark. Appropriate safety clothing
and lights for you and your dog are readily available at
several stores in the community.
