“Marilynn R. Glasser, author of “Dog Park Design, Development, and Operation”,  provides a step-by-step process that is easy to understand and offers wise words of wisdom to help you avoid common problems….extremely impressed by how thorough “Dog Park Design, Development, and Organization” was on the topic of actually building a dog park.  It’s complete with plenty of pictures, examples, rules to consider, and war stories.  There’s even a checklist in the back of the book to make sure all of the bases are covered.  And what I like most about the book is that it is well-written in a simple, easily understandable format.  It’s not overly technical or full of jargon…”
