Dog park equipment in your off-leash area?
My company is working on introducing a line of institutional quality dog park equipment that is intended to be used by the average pet owner. It is NOT intended to be regulation agility equipment, and in fact we have gone out of our way to ensure it is not regulation size. Most pets (and thier owners!)are not trained athletes so the components are made to be both easier and safer than typical agility equipment. Most importantly it is made to hold up to teenagers vandals and even angry pit bulls in the dog parks. What kind of interest is there from off-leash park users? Do you think this would be a good addition to your local off leash park. We're still completing product development and are looking for advice from real park users. A sample rendering is available at www.dog-ON-it-parks.com Thanks for your opinions.

I'd kill for this, for pre-agility work, at the Lake Padden dog park or any other dog park in the Bellingham, WA area.

The head park planner at Bellingham Parks is Jonathan Schilk. He is aware of the product, but unless he gets some requests from the community, it won't be high on his radar screen. They have some substantial capital construction budgets, so equipment just needs to be made a priority for him.
Don't know if he is a dog person however.

I didn't realize how old that original post was.
Since we started business as Dog-ON-It-Parks in 2008, we have shipped equipment to 19 states, Canada and Guam, and have a network of over 30 dealers.
All it takes is some grassroots effforts to show off-leash dog park managerers that a dog park represents the greatest opportunities for outdoor recreation, especially for the low cost of developing a dog park, of all the oportunities he can offer.
