Walk the Dog at These 5 Atlanta Parks
Taking your dog for a walk is good for both you and your pet. You both get some exercise, a chance to enjoy the fresh air, and an opportunity to explore your neighborhood. If you've been meaning to walk your dog more often, then October should bring you some motivation to get started. October 1st - 7th is Walk Your Dog Week, a fun holiday founded in 2010. Our real estate agents the area well, and they recommend visiting one of these Atlanta parks as you walk with your canine pal.
- Fetch Park: 520 Daniel St. SE, Atlanta, GA 30312
Fetch Park is a modern, innovative dog park that has been featured on ESPN and The Travel Channel. It's an off-leash park with a $10 membership fee per dog. Because the park charges a small membership fee, they've been able to add lots of fun features, such as airstream bars, turf fields, and outdoor TVs.

Getting Your Home Ready for a New Puppy
National Puppy Day is coming up on March 23rd, and of course, it's that time of year: puppy season! Spring litters will soon be everywhere, rescues will be looking for homes, and chances are if you've been considering a dog, this is when the hypothetical discussion is likely to become a reality. If you're in the market for a puppy, consider these tips from our real estate agents for getting your home puppy-proofed first.
- Keep trouble out of reach. Look around your house. There are probably many items that aren't safe for puppies. You'll need to get all of those moved out of reach of a puppy, which means putting medications and dangerous chemicals in upper cupboards, picking up throw rugs, and moving poisonous plants out of reach.

Homeowners: Keep Your Pets Safe in an Emergency
Today, the majority of American families own pets. As important members of your household, it's vital to make pets feel at home and take the necessary measures to protect them. If you're finding it difficult to find a pet-friendly house in a safe and welcoming neighborhood, our real estate agents can help you out.
In honor of National Pet Fire Safety Day, on July 15th, here are some ways you can make your home safer for your furry friends.
- Prevent Your Pets From Starting Fires
Pets start nearly 1,000 home fires every year, making it necessary to pet-proof your home and eliminate any potential hazards, such as loose wires. Other tips include:
-
- Lock or cover stove knobs. Your pet may nudge the knobs just enough to ignite the burners.
- Do not leave candles unattended. It's a good idea to extinguish all open flames so a stray tail or paw doesn't tip them over.
- Beware of glass water bowls on wooden decks, especially on hot summer days. Hot rays from the sun can ignite wood when filtered through glass.
