Community Guidelines & Dog Park Safety

Effective date: June 26, 2026

Allowed and encouraged

• Accurate park condition updates: Crowd level, mud, water, gate status, maintenance issues, lighting, parking, and safety observations.
• Helpful notes that do not identify or shame specific people.
• Respectful reviews of businesses based on real experiences.
• Photos of parks, amenities, signs, and public spaces where people are not the focus.

Not allowed

• Harassment, threats, hate, bullying, name-calling, or discrimination.
• Posting private information: Licence plates, phone numbers, home addresses, children's images, or identifying details about other users without consent.
• Tracking, stalking, or exposing another person's routine.
• False safety reports, fake reviews, competitor sabotage, spam, scams, or undisclosed paid promotion.
• Medical, veterinary, legal, or emergency advice presented as professional advice unless you are properly qualified and your role is clear.
• Graphic injury content unless needed for a safety report and submitted through the appropriate reporting channel.

Dog park safety reminder

• PawVibe reports are community signals, not guarantees.
• You are responsible for your dog's behaviour, leash compliance, vaccinations, recall, and interactions.
• Leave the park if your dog, another dog, or a person appears unsafe or overwhelmed.
• Report urgent hazards to municipal authorities or emergency services first, then PawVibe if appropriate.
