Reviews about Montrose Dog Beach

  Largest off-leash area for Chicago as "DFA" dog parks in the area are tiny spaces and usually paved. Lots of room for dogs to run and swim. I live a short drive away and have been visiting with my 3 dogs for 8 years now. A majority of the dogs are safe, trained, well-socialized pets.
  
  This is not a great environment if you have a fearful or aggressive dog, or any dog that will not recall or obey off leash (like puppies). Please do not bring these as you do need to make sure they are safely under your control. If your dog seems over-whelmed by the waves and activity, or shows any aggression, it is time to leave.
  
  Please do not bring in treats, any food or fancy toys - these start quarrels! Ordinary tennis balls seem okay for swimming dogs to fetch. Food is the primary problem and to the lady that fell asleep on a blanket this summer: my dogs can open zipper bags and coolers and they ate all your sandwiches and chips. My dogs have great recall but are willfully deaf on "drop it" when they just made the score of the year. You can picnic in the nearby grassy areas, leave stuff in your car for later.
  
  Prong collars are banned. People are great about cleaing up. Bring in chairs, umbrellas, drink coolers, towels or blankets at your own risk because they will be peed on, repeatedly.
