Clean Up and Coffee Bark with Top Dog Service, LLC

Yesterday's park clean up and first coffee bark was a lot of fun!  We want to thank Top Dog Service, LLC for coming out and helping us better understand aggressive behavior in dogs!  Check out their blog for more details:  Top Dog Blog

As a result of the session, we are going to place a broom stick and some "dog muzzle mace" in the park to use to break up a fight if necessary.  We will let you know where they are as soon as we have them. 

You can reach David Evanoff, CMDT, at Top Dog Service, LLC or 917-749-5756
