Fun Activities to do Outside with Your Dog
As the weather starts to warm up, there are much more opportunities to be outdoors with your pup. Here is a list of outdoor activities to keep your and your pet out in the fresh air.
- Exercise with your dog. Running, walking, or hiking are great ways to get active with your dog outside. Sign up for a dog-friendly 5K and train for it with your pup!
- Find a dog-friendly farmers market and enjoy getting out and shopping. The new sites and smells will be exciting for your dog and can be a great new way for them to explore their surroundings.
- Plant a garden in your backyard. While you plant, your dog can play outside safely. Ensure all plants are pet-friendly before planting!
- Visit an off-leash dog park. If your dog loves to run around outdoors and is friendly with other dogs, enjoy some time at the dog park. Socializing your dog in a healthy way can help your dog be more friendly and can boost their confidence.
- Sit outdoors at a pet-friendly restaurant. Some restaurants have pet-friendly patios and may even bring your dog a treat and a bowl of water while you enjoy your tasty meal.
- Visit the closest beach (ocean or lake) and let your dog have fun in the sun, sand, and water. Ensure you keep a close watch on your dog but have fun at the beach with a dog-friendly picnic and some time to play.
