I grew up with dogs and cats. My husband and I got our first puppy when our children were small and took several training classes to learn the proper way to handle dogs. We now have two large dogs that I walk every day, rain or shine. I like staying fit and walking our dogs helps me stay young and stress free!

Dog Walking in Elmwood Park
Elmwood Park is a village in Illinois in Cook County. The town is home to many Italian-American, Polish-American, and Latino residents. This diverse mixture has contributed to the unique development of the culture here. The town was founded in 1914 as a separate town from nearby Chicago. Elmwood Park was incorporated as a village in early April 1914 to prevent it from being annexed by the greater city of Chicago.
Residents of Elmwood Park describe it as a dog-friendly place with residents who love to garden and take pride in the way their neighborhood looks. Visitors often feel welcomed by the residents, and there is always a kind neighbor who will help you find your way around if you need it. There are also two animal hospitals in town and several more outside the town that will be happy to help you keep your dog happy and healthy throughout your travels in this part of Illinois.
Dog owners here enjoy a variety of green spaces both in and around the town where leashed dogs are more than welcome to explore and roll around to their hearts’ content. Constitution Park is just south of town and is very popular with the locals who have dogs of their own.
Elmwood Park is the pawfect place to make some new friends, both of the two- and four-legged variety!
