Terrain options: <strong>Woodchips<\/strong> <strong>or<\/strong> <strong>grassy<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>main off-leash area offers a woodchip terrain<\/strong> which greatly reduces mud puddles and slippery muddy areas after periods of rain.&nbsp; It will still be muddy but there is significantly less puddle formation with this type of terrain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The partially fenced off-leash area offers a standard field with <strong>grassy terrain<\/strong>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. <strong>Dedicated dog fountain<\/strong>. Inside the main off-leash area is a dedicated dog fountain set at the height to allow dogs easy access to water. However, I\u2019d highly recommend using the fountain and filling up your own bottle or <a href=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/recommends\/silicone-collapsible-bowls\/\">silicone collapsible bowl<\/a> as the dog fountain can get pretty dirty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1033.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1033-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"Cedarvale Dog Park - Dog Fountain\" class=\"wp-image-4924\" srcset=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1033-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1033-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1033-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1033-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1033-2048x1366.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>4. <strong>Sheltered and shaded seating area<\/strong> &#8211; in the main off-leash area there is a large, central shaded seating area. The seating area can comfortably sit and provide shade to most dog owners even at the peak busy hours and provides a central location to the entire dog park as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This spot also doubles as a great area for shaded rest for the dogs as well as the rest of the dog park does not offer any shade.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. <strong>25-minute drive to Toronto\u2019s downtown core<\/strong> &#8211; did you know that Cedarvale dog park is only a 10 KM drive away from Eaton\u2019s Centre? This surprisingly large and relaxing community park is actually a lot closer to the core downtown Toronto area than I had initially thought!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6. <strong>Free, nearby parking<\/strong> &#8211; As a car-owning dog-owner in Toronto, free and nearby parking is surprisingly difficult to find. This is a major PLUS in my books when it comes to deciding how often I\u2019ll visit a dog park (I mean I love Limone and all but I can\u2019t imagine paying $10 in parking and walking 10+ minutes to visit a dog park all the time..)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7. <strong>7.2 KM on-leash ravine trails &#8211; <\/strong>What makes Cedarvale dog park a hidden gem is its direct connection to a 7.2 KM tranquil forest-sheltered ravine trail. Great for all seasons, the ravine trail easily connects to the off-leash areas on a paved road.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alltrails\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alltrails.com\/widget\/trail\/canada\/ontario\/cedarvale-ravine?u=m\" width=\"100%\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" title=\"AllTrails: Trail Guides and Maps for Hiking, Camping, and Running\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>8. <strong>Versatile outdoor hub<\/strong> <strong>&#8211; great for dog owners of all ages<\/strong> &#8211; The entire Cedarvale park is considered a popular family-friendly outdoor activity hub in the neighbourhood.

The main off-leash area is enclosed with a single gated entryway.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The secondary off-leash area is completely open, using a natural barrier system with its fencing to create a division between the off-leash area and the rest of the park.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignwide has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1038.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"4928\" src=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1038-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Cedarvale Dog Park - Single Gate Entryway to the main off-leash area.

If you\u2019re visiting in the winter months, or tend to visit dog parks early or late in the day, it may be difficult to see the area until the sun is out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. <strong>Not as public transit-friendly<\/strong> &#8211; As mentioned earlier, <strong>Cedarvale Park is relatively far from nearby public transit stops<\/strong>. The closest subway stations are <strong>Eglinton West<\/strong> or<strong> St. Clair West<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting off from <strong>Eglinton West<\/strong> requires you to <strong>walk an additional 20 minutes from the subway station to reach the park itself<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you get off at <strong>St. Clair Wes<\/strong>t, you can take the <strong>90 bus northbound to Vaughan Rd at Kenwood <\/strong>Ave, and <strong>walk another 5 minutes to reach the park<\/strong> itself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6. <strong>Low fences in the main off-leash area and partially high-fenced secondary off-leash area<\/strong>. Normally I wouldn\u2019t comment on the fencing provided at a dog park as they\u2019re generally high enough that *most* dogs (unless they\u2019re part rabbit) won\u2019t be able to easily jump out fenced area. However, Cedarvale\u2019s main off-leash area definitely leaves something to be desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To start off, the fencing height, in general, is relatively low compared to other dog parks I have visited. Then, to make it worse, there are certain <strong>areas of the dog park that slopes <em>downwards<\/em><\/strong> &#8211; like the area facing the toboggan hill. In this area, <strong>long-legged or above-average leapers can easily clear the fence<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignwide has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1035.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"4926\" src=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1035-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Cedarvale Dog Park - Jogger running by on ravine trail nearby off-leash fenced area\" class=\"wp-image-4926\" srcset=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1035-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1035-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1035-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1035-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1035-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1035-1400x934.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">this area facing the toboggan hill is sloped down and is very easy to hop over<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1028.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"4920\" src=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1028-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Cedarvale Dog Park - Fencing in Main Off-leash Area\" class=\"wp-image-4920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1028-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1028-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1028-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1028-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1028-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1028-1400x934.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">on the opposite end is another slope that is easy to hop over as well<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, the <strong>second off-leash area does have taller fences<\/strong>.

So many dogs!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cedarvale Park is a huge space. With gentle slopes and enclosed by the ravine forests, this large outdoor area was surprisingly relaxing and tranquil despite its midtown location.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I expected to stay for half an hour but we ended up staying for 1.5 hours in the off-leash area and surrounding area.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Who would have thought that such a large natural space existed on Eglinton? When I first arrived, I was seriously surprised by its size. Considering how the rest of midtown Eglinton is made up of compact streets and buildings, I was really surprised that such a large neighbourhood park was even available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seriously. I thought I\u2019d be visiting a parkette when I punched this address into my navigation system.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Limone and I visited Cedarvale dog park on a <strong>Monday morning around 10:00 AM<\/strong>. Let me tell you\u2026 this is <strong>THE PLACE for neighbourhood dog walkers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I counted at least <strong>5-7 dog walkers<\/strong> make their way into the main off-leash area in the first hour alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At one point there were almost 20 large dogs in the main off-leash area! Limone was more than happy to meet and greet the rotating groups of dogs during our stay. However, I<strong> noticed that there weren\u2019t many small dogs in the off-leash area. <\/strong>During our visit, I noticed that most small dogs were walking on a leash around the park instead of entering the off-leash area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mud\">A slick and muddy morning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Limone and I visited Cedarvale\u2019s dog park after an unexpected rainfall in Toronto, so it was a great time for us to evaluate just how muddy Cedarvale\u2019s dog park would be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully, as the other Google Reviews had promised, the wood chips in the main off-leash area took care of most of the mud pools you\u2019d typically find at other grassy off-leash dog parks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we walked closer to the center of the off-leash dog area, (towards the sheltered pavilion), the ground became very soft and slippery &#8211; even with the added friction provided by the wood chips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several dog walkers noticed the condition of the main off-leash area too. So although 5-7 groups of dogs visited the main area, several other groups of dogs actually went to the second off-leash area instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the last half of our visit, Limone and I took a walk around the park and I noticed at least 3 dog groups went to the secondary off-leash area instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignwide has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1027.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"4919\" src=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1027-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Cedarvale Dog Park has a sloped hill on one side of its large off-leash dog park\" class=\"wp-image-4919\" srcset=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1027-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1027-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1027-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1027-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1027-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1027-1400x934.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1037.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"4927\" src=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1037-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Cedarvale Dog Park - Further image of gently hill slope\" class=\"wp-image-4927\" srcset=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1037-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1037-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1037-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1037-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1037-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1037-1400x934.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"clean\">Clean and well maintained<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall Cedarvale Park is a well maintained and clean park. The off-leash area itself was recently renovated as well. Most of its features (like the sheltered pavilion and the dedicated dog fountain) are under 5 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While some google reviews mentioned complaints of dog owners not picking up after their dogs, I didn\u2019t see this issue on my visit. The dog walkers were attentive with their dogs and every poop was picked up by their corresponding dog walker or owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1043.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1043-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"Cedarvale Park - Trail near Phil White Arena\" class=\"wp-image-4933\" srcset=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1043-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1043-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1043-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1043-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSF1043-2048x1366.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A trail connecting Phil White Arena and the Dog Parks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"off-leash\">Several off-leash dogs around the neighbouring area<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the first things that we noticed during our stroll through Cedarvale park was how many off-leash dogs were walking around the park in the on-leash area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully all the dogs we met were friendly and kept close to their owner, but this is something to watch out for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note: as a reminder &#8211; for the safety of yourself and others, you should keep your dog on a 6-ft leash unless you\u2019re in the designated off-leash area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Leashing dogs in Cedarvale Park when outside the designated off-leash areas<\/strong> is very important! According to Wikipedia,<strong> <\/strong>Cedarvale Park has <strong>increased the presence of by-law officers<\/strong> around the park to enforce this rule due to increased complaints in the neighbourhood about off-leash dogs.

After reviewing about 700+ Google Reviews though, here are some key points to note depending on which season you are visiting this dog park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Spring &#8211;<\/strong> Be prepared to wash your dog if you visit Cedarvale dog park after rainfall. While the wood chips prevent mud pools from forming, the main area is muddy and your dog will get dirty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Summer<\/strong> &#8211; A great time to visit! With the addition of the shaded central pavilion and the dedicated dog fountain, this is a great place for dogs to visit even on hot summer days.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fall<\/strong> &#8211; Much like spring, you may want to make sure that there have been several days of sun or cloudy days to visit to avoid the mud. Alternatively, <strong>fall is a great time to walk your dog on a leash on the 7.2 KM ravine trail<\/strong> instead.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Winter<\/strong> &#8211; A great time to visit for winter-loving dogs. They\u2019ll have an exciting time watching kids go down the toboggan hill too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-others-say\">What other reviewers are saying<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With almost 800 Google reviews over 4 years, and averaging<strong> 4.6 stars out of 5 <\/strong>stars, Cedarvale dog park is a <strong>mostly positive experience<\/strong>. Here are the recurring positive comments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Expansive off-leash area<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lots of space<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Well maintained<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Covered in cedar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nice shelter<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The water fountain is great<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of negative or low-rated reviews, this is what most dissatisfied visitors have to say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Too many off-leash dogs outside of the off-leash area<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Muddy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Aggressive dogs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Too many dogs (25-30 at a time)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No separation for small and large dogs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"summary\">Cedarvale Dog Park Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cedarvale dog park is a hidden gem for Toronto dog owners. If you happen to be in the west midtown area, or if you\u2019re looking for another off-leash dog park a reasonable drive away from downtown Toronto, this is a dog park you should consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>A new dog park less than 30 min from downtown Toronto<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Beautiful walking trails in a peaceful ravine neighbourhood<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A Toronto dog park with free parking<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a great choice! As someone who just stumbled upon this dog park, I will be making a point to visit this dog park again with Limone in the future. Personally &#8211; I\u2019m looking forward to watching her play in the dog park and watching children play on the toboggan hill nearby!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-to-bring\">What We Always Bring With Us to Dog Parks<\/h2>\n\n\n<div id=\"footable_parent_6834\"\n         class=\" footable_parent ninja_table_wrapper loading_ninja_table wp_table_data_press_parent semantic_ui \">\n                <table data-ninja_table_instance=\"ninja_table_instance_0\" data-footable_id=\"6834\" data-filter-delay=\"1000\" aria-label=\"Dog Park Gear\"            id=\"footable_6834\"\n           data-unique_identifier=\"ninja_table_unique_id_75137804_6834\"\n           class=\" foo-table ninja_footable foo_table_6834 ninja_table_unique_id_75137804_6834 ui table  nt_type_ajax_table compact vertical_centered  footable-paging-right ninjatable_hide_header_row ninja_table_search_disabled\">\n                <colgroup>\n                            <col class=\"ninja_column_0 \">\n                            <col class=\"ninja_column_1 \">\n                    <\/colgroup>\n            <\/table>\n                    <style type=\"text\/css\" id='ninja_table_custom_css_6834'>\n                        #footable_6834  {\n    font-family: inherit;\n    font-size: 14px;\n    }\n\n    \n                <\/style>\n                \n    \n    \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-s-on-limone\">What\u2019s on Limone:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the situation we rotate Limone through various harnesses and collars:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Our Everyday Harness<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/recommends\/julius-k-9-idc-long-walk-harness\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Julius K-9 IDC \u00ae Longwalk Harness<\/a><\/li><li><strong>\u2018Photo-Op\/Meeting her Grandpawrents\u2019 Harness<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/recommends\/knick-knack-paddy-whack-harness-in-prime\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Knick Knack Paddy Whack Harness in Prime<\/a> <strong><span style=\"color:#5cd3fc\" class=\"has-inline-color\">*locally made in Toronto<\/span><\/strong><\/li><li><strong>\u2018I\u2019m dirty, my harness is dirty, and I need a shower so I can&#8217;t wear a harness anymore\u2019 Collar<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/recommends\/kong-padded-comfort-collar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">KONG\u00ae Comfort Weave Padded Dog Collar<\/a> &#8211; we bring this with us whenever we know Limone is going to get muddy or go into the water for a swim and we can&#8217;t bother with a harness<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, we rotate Limone\u2019s leash based on our needs.
