Carbondale, PA Real Estate & Homes For Sale

"The homes in my surrounding area are built very close together so that there is little to no yard in the front, back or sides of the houses (except in very rare instances). Since I am thinking of getting a dog, I have tried to locate area dog parks because in the past my dogs, and I, have really enjoyed them. Unfortunately I have yet to locate one within a reasonable distance. There is however, a rail to trail system that we could use. I’m just not sure if dogs have to be leashed as long as they are under their owner’s control. Another thing I’ve noticed in this area; few people with dogs that I have come across here (I’ve lived here since fall ‘19) actually train their dogs. I have seen dogs jump out of parked car windows; run leash-less down the middle of a fairly busy street that one side of my house overlooks, and other horrifying scenarios. I’m not sure why owners are so adverse to proper training, especially if it leads to keeping their dogs out of hazardous situations. I just hope they are not just as lax with vet care and vaccinations. "
