Responsible Dog Ownership Day 2014 Your BDOG Board  Lisa Weiss and Suzanne Sunday (l to r)  Who We Are: Bedford Dog Owners Group, Inc. (BDOG), a non-profit corporation operating under 501(c)(3) status, is an all-volunteer organization dedicated to improving the recreational opportunities and the lives of dogs and their owners. All of the programs and initiatives of Bedford D.O.G. are supported through membership fees and private donations. For many people, dogs are an integral part of their lives. Many dog owners enjoy outdoor activities with their dogs such as hiking and playing ball. They look for opportunities to socialize together with other owners and their dogs. Spending recreational time together, however, is greatly hindered when a dog must be kept on leash. Our Mission:To
lend support in the creation of a dog park in Bedford and to provide
ongoing community assistance to maintain it as a recreational asset for
the citizens of Bedford. To maintain a positive presence in the
community, encourage community involvement, and recreation through the
development of dog parks. Strengthen community values and compliance
with canine laws by promoting dog access policies and responsible dog
ownership. Support conservation of open land by containing the areas
used for recreation by citizens with their dogs. Educate the community
about responsible dog ownership.CONTACT US: Baseball Caps Why

Please use them! It has become obvious that owners are taking their large dogs into the small dog enclosure and not cleaning up after their pet. Everyone must pick up after their own dog - please use the bags provided by the Town!!! Did You Know... ...that, for safety reasons, all dogs must be leashed when taken to and from your vehicle; ...that food can cause fights among the dogs and so should never be brought into the dog park; ...that dog parks provide crucial socialization and recreation experiences for your canine. Aren't we fortunate to have a place in Bedford where dogs can safely run free? Tell your dog-owning friends all about the park! Poop On Your Shoes? Don't Blame the Dogs! Remember, the dogs can't pick up after themselves....that's why YOU are there! A lot of poop on the ground lately - PLEASE pick up after your dog.
