Dog Park Directions:
DIRECTIONS TO THE DOG PARK: Main Street (Rt 111) north, take a right onto Whitney Avenue by Luigi's Bakery. Follow Whitney Ave until you see the sign for Indian Ledge Park on the right hand side. Take a right into Indian Ledge Park. Go up the hill, past the children's playground and water park area, until you reach a parking lot on your right hand side. Take a right into the parkling lot and go to the end; the dog park is on your right. Trumbull Resident vehicle sticker is required to enter the park. Stickers can be obtained at the Recreation Department.
Non-Trumbull Residents: Town of Trumbull Parks & Recreation rules require that you have a Trumull Resident sticker on your vehicle in order to access any Trumbull Park. If you are not a Trumbull resident, you cannot get the sticker. If you do not have the Trumbull Resident sticker and you park in a Trumbull park, you risk getting a $25 fine. My suggestion: Make friends with a Trumbull resident and car pool!

Structure shouldn’t mean no fun. Having fun with structure is the ideal way of living, especially for a dog. Dogs are creatures of habit, but that doesn’t mean they want the same thing everyday; they need to be challenged. Dogs see rules, boundaries, and limitations as a formula for balance, but just [...]
Sometimes we let our entire house go to the dogs, so to speak, and if that’s the case, we need to claim it back. There are many tell-tale signs that your dog has become King of the Castle, but often the most telling is when your dog won’t let your guests come in to [...]
