Lol I totally understand the stubbornness I m glad you were able to get him to walk more than usual and it sounds like he likes walking on grass more than anything. I appreciate your time and patience hope to see you soon.

Hamden
The City of Hamde operates the Hamden Dog Park located at 300 Waite St. It is part of the larger Bassett Park. This fenced enclosure makes a dog feel at home. There is a separate enclosure for small dogs. The surface is wood chips so you don’t have to worry about mucky paws. There is plenty of shade, and the park has water and water bowls. Bags for cleanup are available, too. There are a few toys and tennis balls. This park attracts dogs from around town and beyond. It can be even crowded on some days. The large dog enclosure, though, can handle a crowd. Great time for socialization for both dogs and human companions.

Cheshire
Cheshire Dog Park is located at 1220 Waterbury Road. It is a 9-mile drive north of Hamden. This grassy fenced enclosure gives dogs a chance to socialize with many other dogs. This dog park has two acres for dogs to run leash-free. There is a separate area for small dogs, too. The park provides waste receptacles for cleanup, but no water is onsite. There are shaded areas for hot days, and some benches for that human companion. This park can get muddy after a hard rain or after a melt in the snow. This dog park is a very popular spot, and draws two dozen or more dogs at a time. Beat the heat and the traffic and hit the park at sunrise!

Southington
Sixteen miles to the north of Hamden is the Southington Dog Park. This fenced enclosure is great for some off-leash socialization. The park has a separate enclosure for small dogs. Waste receptacles and water is provided onsite. This park is open from sunrise until 9 p.m. The area is grassy, and great for rolling around in if there hasn’t been a rain. It can get muddy at times! The rules are posted onsite, and again on the City’s website. There are no rules barring non-citizens of Southington using the dog park. There have been some reports of the human companions becoming a bit territorial over their dog park. Worth a look-see, at least for the grass! Make sure you bring your license and proof of vaccinations. The City of Southington has been checking for them.
