    "Not many sidewalks in the area I live in. I hope that changes in the future. Otherwise, there are parks nearby to accommodate dogs. I suggest visiting those. I like that they’re a lot of dog owners in my neighborhood and walking trails although the trails in my area don’t get tended to as much as the local parks and can feel unsafe for dogs and their owners.
