Book now“Animal Behavior Bachelor of Science”
I recently graduated from IU with a Bachelor of Science in Animal Behavior and a minor in Biology. I have four guinea pigs and a horse and I enjoyed working at a dog daycare where I cared for up to 70 dogs per day. This has given me so much experience in understanding dog behaviors and being able to meet dogs of different sizes and personalities.

Book now“please, let me walk your dog”
Hello! I grew up as the neighborhood dog watcher and walker. Growing up we were never allowed to have a dog of our own, so I would take any opportunity I could to spend time with other dogs. I treat pets as friends and with respect.

Population DensityDowntown Carbondale

36Nine miles away from Carbondale, you can visit the Friends of Murphysboro Dog Park, which is a double-gated, fenced area where your fur-baby can sniff around safely. If you have a small or large dog that doesn't play well with doggies of different sizes, this place is pawfect for you since it offers separate areas for both. Waste baggies and places for disposing them are available at the park. Drinking water is provided at the park's water fountains. You'll find plenty of shade trees in the park to keep you comfortable on hot days. For the dog owners, there are benches for extra comfort.
North Marcum Recreation Area

24Who doesn't love walking down a sandy beach in the company of their beloved pet? If you do and want to experience something like that in the vicinity of Carbondale, you should visit the North Marcum Beach, around 40 miles away from the city. The beach can be found in North Marcum Recreation Area on Rend Lake. The sand at this beach is gentle on your pup's paws. You should be aware that alcohol is allowed on the beach, and sometimes there are parties, but the beach is very big so you can probably find a quiet place. Showers and picnic areas are a plus of this pawesome park!

12Although it's a little bit further away from Carbondale than the previously mentioned places, the Dog Town Playground at Kiwanis Park is the perfect spot for socializing and letting your pup sniff around an enclosed area. Although the park is not big -- only 1 acre -- it has two separate areas for small and large doggies that have plenty of agility equipment to entertain pooches, such as tunnels and fire hydrants. In both of the areas, there are picnic tables for the doggie owners, water fountains with drinking water, and poop baggie dispensers for cleaning up after your pooch. There are also plenty of doggie toys provided.
Herrin

0Herrin Park Dog Park is located in Park Drive, around 15 miles away from Carbondale. This park is a pretty large one and it's completely fenced with special sections for bigger and smaller pooches. There are three fire hydrants for dogs to mark and a lot of shade to shelter you and your fur-baby from the sun. You should bring water with you since it's not provided here. The place provides waste baggies and trash cans in both areas so you can contribute to keeping the park clean. You can bring a maximum of two dogs per person.
