WHY DOG FRIENDLY?
Living in a dog-friendly neighborhood is like shopping at Trader Joe’s. You feel more “connected” in a Trader Joe’s than in a big chain store.

In dog-friendly areas, you see more people getting outside with their dog/s and biking, jogging, and walking, rather than driving.

You don't need expensive gear to hike, walk, bike or jog with your dog.  All you need is a leash and a poop bag.

Remember:  Responsible dog owners always pick up after their pets, exhibit calm and cooperative behavior, and abide by any local ordinances.

NDOG Hall of Fame
Dennis Day, Tin-Wa Wong and Janet Baker of the City of Sacramento Parks & Recreation Department for planning with dog-loving citizens in mind.
