Springtime Activities With Your Pup!

Looking for some fun activities to do outside this springtime? Here are some great suggestions:

Go swimming – Many dogs love spending time in the water. This is the perfect activity for a hot spring day. Whether you are near the beach or near a river, you can spend quality time splashing around with your dog. We always recommend having your dog wear a life jacket for his/her protection!

Become running partners – Workouts are a no-brainer. If you love to go out for a run, then you can make your dog to be your running partner also. On the other side, if you have a tough time getting up and going out than you can use your pet friend as a motivation. This will be beneficial for both you and your dog’s health. It doesn’t have to be a run; fast-paced walking is as good, just find some nice shoes for you and a quality harness that it is comfortable for your dog and you are good to go.

Find a new park – Free afternoons or weekends in the spring are meant for exploring. Make a point to divert from your usual route and find a new park full of sticks, trees and grass to explore.

Enjoy date night – If your local bar or favorite restaurant allows it, let your pup tag along for date night and take a seat outside to enjoy the scene. Your dog will be thrilled to keep you company as you eat and won’t need anything more than a fresh bowl of water, and maybe a treat every now and again, to enjoy people watching on the street.

Do some spring cleaning – If you haven’t already started this year’s spring cleaning, take those old raggedy shirts out from the bottom of your dressers and tie them together for a giant tug-toy! Go out and have an epic game of tug-of-war with your pup.
