Leash or no leash. It always seems to be the question when taking your dog to the park. Some feel strongly that dogs should be on a leash at all times when in public, for their safety and the safety of others.
But then when or where does a dog get to run and have the freedom to play without being tied to a leash?
Well if you live in San Francisco, here is a list of places where is it acceptable to take off the leash and let the dog enjoy the park. But as always there are practical rules and guidelines that you should know before going.
