I've been to Urban Active twice this week and can report that the place is clean, spacious and pleasant. There are more brand new machines than anybody would know what to do with. Any reports to the contrary are just sour grapes. Daniel Berczik, again.

by Becca Ridge 21 Jun '10

21 Jun '10

I have a healthy (already has shots/ vet checks), female, 8-week old Rottweiler/ Black Lab puppy. Because of a strange turn of events, I adopted this puppy but am unable to keep her and am looking for a new home, free of charge. If nothing turns up, however, I will have to take her to the local humane society. If you or anyone you know is interested in owning the most adorable and playful, healthy animal, please call Rebecca at 412-403-3844

[Highland Park] dogs off leash
by Mark Stein 21 Jun '10

21 Jun '10

Having encountered this issue several times recently, I'd like to add my full support to the email regarding off-leash dogs. This past weekend while walking through the park I met several dogs off leash. When my dogs see that they then think they are at the "dog park" and want to be off leash themselves, and get excited. It's hard to believe, but my dogs aren't perfectly behaved. It's difficult to ask them to ignore other dogs, however, when they are running all over the place. Then we have to confront, "Oh, don't worry, he's a nice dog." These dogs approach mine, their owners "just being friendly" and, I think genuinely, not understanding (or caring) that we didn't think it was "cute" (or particularly friendly). Whether dogs are well-behaved or not isn't the point. In addition, it sets an example quickly followed. Both of my dogs received the AKC "Good Citizen" certification. One is a therapy dog. The other will walk off-leash and never leave my side if I let her. But I don't. The fact is not everyone enjoys dogs. Many are, believe it or not, fearful. We had repeated incidents a few years ago while walking our dogs with two young (8 and 10) family members who were scared of dogs. After they became used to our dogs they asked to accompany us walking them. Nearly daily we had to ask someone to please leash their dogs or not allow them to come running over. Almost invariably the response was one of indignation and resentment. There are several large, accessible areas for dogs to run off-leash in Pittsburgh. I'd love for there to be one here in Highland Park but the fact is that there isn't. Even at these locations, however, pet owners let their dogs loose far ahead of the off-leash area, unable to wait the few minutes it takes to reach it. I wish the city had more staff available to ticket these owners. I'm certain they will after someone's small child accidently scares, or hurts, a "nice dog," and is badly bitten. Please ask pet owners to leash their animals or take them to an enclosed area. If we don't, the assumption is that it's okay to keep doing so.
