💥We Blame the Dogs, But...Have You Seen the Humans!: Designing Behavior Where Pressure Builds.

Dog parks are one of the few public spaces with zero behavioral infrastructure—and predictable conflict points.

Instead of blaming “bad dogs” or “irresponsible owners,” what if we designed simple, visible systems that guide human behavior at the exact moments pressure builds?

In this session, we’ll break down one real-world scenario (dog park gate entry) and explore how small design signals—timing, spacing, movement—can reduce friction before it escalates.

If you work in product, UX, behavior or systems design, this is a live case study in shaping behavior without rules, enforcement, or training.
