Make Sure Your Dog Is Ready
Every dog has his day. It's just not always at the dog park! Potential candidates should be friendly, fixed, fully vaccinated, and at least 6 months old, says Alexandra Bassett, a certified dog trainer and behavior specialist in Los Angeles. "Ideally, pets should also follow some basic obedience cues-such as 'come,' 'down,' and 'stay'-even in distracting environments," Bassett says. If it's your first time, consider finding a park with separate areas for small and large dogs so your pup can play with others his size, and try to go during off-peak hours (generally midday on weekdays and late afternoon on weekends). And always look for signs outlining specific rules of the park.

Modern Manners Advice for Your Social Dilemmas
My friend often reaches out with texts like \"Hey! Are you free on Saturday?\" The issue: I don't know whether she's asking if I'm free to hang out with her or if I'm free to dog-sit or babysit.
