DOGWATCH VOLUNTEERS

DOGWATCH GUIDELINES

  • Volunteers need to be wearing safety vest to be identified as a volunteer.

  • Volunteers can remind dog users of dog park rules if they spot violations.

  • Avoid hostile confrontations with the public.

  • Record and report / name (if possible) or license plate can be documented and passed on to Parks staff.

  • Volunteers can arrive and walk the facility any time during park hours.

  • Volunteers are not on site to pick up after dogs. Simply provide a watchdog presence so to speak and hopefully folks will see someone wearing a vest and abide by rules.

  • Dogwatch notice has been posted on each Information Shelter as users enter each section of the Dog Park.

Staffed by Volunteers, to inform the public who are using the Dog Park, to the Rules & Proper Etiquette.  This consists of wearing an orange vest, supplied by Harris County, and informing visitors about rules & regulations.  Dog Park Volunteers

Parks Superintendent Gilbert Smith is also asking for each member to record their hours so he can present a time accountability to Commissioner Garcia.  This is strictly a voluntary effort.  If you wish to participate in recording your time volunteering.  Here is a simple spreadsheet to save to your PC and record your time each time you visit the Dog Park.  Just add your name to the bottom of the spreadsheet when saving to your PC.  Each month send the recorded time to Superintendent of Parks Precinct 2: - Gilbert Smith

In those rare occasions where a person wants to argue a specific point what is the proper etiquette. Handouts to pass out.  There are 4 to a page.
