Most parks welcome multiple dogs from the same household, but you must be able to control all dogs at once. Some facilities limit the number of dogs per person (usually 2-3). For safety, ensure you can give adequate attention to each dog and be prepared to leave if any dog becomes overwhelmed or aggressive.

Essential items include: a leash (for entering and exiting), poop bags, fresh water and a bowl, your dog's vaccination records (especially for indoor facilities), and your phone for emergencies. Optional items include toys (check park rules first), treats for training, and a first-aid kit.
