Located in the West Concord neighborhood is White Park, a fantastic place to take your pup for a great walk or jog. White Park does ask that you always keep your dog on-leash since it is a public park. If your pup is in need of some training, then head on over to Spirit of the Okami, which offers private lessons for you and your dog and also has a wide range of training classes from puppy to advanced, tricks, and clicker training. Locals rave about how much the trainers love the dogs that visit.

Terrill Park Dog Park is a beautiful fenced in dog park that is separated by large and small breeds, so you don’t have to worry about your pup’s safety. Terrill Park Dog Park does require a permit before you can enter, and is supported by Friends of the Concord Community Dog Park. The park backs up to a small river, so if your dog gets a little hot, he can jump in the water to cool down. If you and your pup work up an appetite at the park, then head over to Beefside which welcomes your dog with open arms, and even gives them a bowl of water upon your arrival.

If you’re headed into downtown Concord with your pup, be sure to stop by Bark Station. Besides being a daycare center, Bark Station allows you to rent out rooms for, wait for it, DOG BIRTHDAY PARTIES! They also have individual training times and areas for off-leash fun. If you feel the need for food, check out Cheers, which has a New England inspired menu that includes options such as fried sea scallops and chicken cordon bleu. Their outdoor tables are 100% doggie friendly, and the staff helps your pup feel right at home. The outdoor patio provides plenty of room so your dog won’t feel too crowded.

Every pup loves their spa treatment, so let your dog have a relaxing day at A Furry Affair. This pet grooming facility offers a full-service grooming salon that does both basic services or breed standard grooms. They also offer brushing and bathing for your pup, as well as nail trimming! Before you leave, be sure to buy your pup a toy in their front lobby. Locals love how nice the staff is and how well they treat your dog while in their care. East Concord also offers numerous dog training places including No Monkey Business Dog Training and Motivated K9, just in case Fido needs to learn a few manners.
