Believe it or not, some researchers still claim that dogs don't have emotions. If you're in agreement have a look at Denver's reaction to getting caught eating Kitty's treats.

Favorite Dog Walking Locales - Lochside Park
While my wife takes dogs on leash -- generally on neighborhood walks -- I much prefer to take groups of 5 or 6 dogs to areas where they can romp and play with one another until they're ready to nap away the rest of the afternoon. We're very fortunate in Victoria to have a number of places where they can do this.
One such place is Lochside Park ...located just past Mattock's Farm in Cordova Bay. It consists of three baseball diamonds and a soccer field joined by a grassy field which also contains a playground for the kids and a tennis court. The southernmost diamond is completely fenced with 2 gates that you can close which makes it very secure if you're concerned about your dog's recall ability.
To get there, just follow Cordova Bay Road past Mattock's Farm and turn onto Lochside Drive. Go about 500 meters and you'll find a large parking lot. There is no traffic past this point so it is quite safe to let your dog out of the vehicle off leash.
Please note that the ball diamonds are off limits to dogs from April to September. The large soccer field is open year round but there is another fenced field with artificial turf that is off limits at all times.
During the winter months I like to take dogs here because it's usually very quiet, and the high winter tides make the beaches impractical to visit.
