Townhome Living and Tiny Dog Runs: Grooming Done Right in Dublin
Dublin keeps its off-leash dogs in a few specific spots. Bray Commons Park has an enclosed quarter-acre run just for dogs under 20 pounds, and Dougherty Hills Dog Park at Amador Valley Boulevard and Stagecoach Road separates large and small dogs. Everywhere else in the city's parks, dogs stay leashed, including at 48-acre Emerald Glen Park. Many residents live in townhomes and condos around Emerald Park, in master-planned areas like Positano and Dublin Ranch, or in apartments near the BART station, where yard space is limited.
Smaller outdoor space means most walks happen on pavement and leashed park paths, which wears down nails and picks up dirt between the pads. My van visit solves that in one stop. I wash, dry, brush and trim your small dog, then clip the nails and tidy the paws. Since the van brings its own warm water and drain tank, your balcony, garage or tiny entry stays clean and dry, with no wet towels piling up afterward.
