The Most Fun Things to Do with Your Dog
Looking for some fun things to do with your dog to keep him happy and entertained? Or wish to spice up your canine's everyday routine? You've come to the right place! From learning new tricks to dressing up for Halloween, here are 13 fun things to do with your dog.
Fun things to do with your dog
- Visit a pet-friendly hotel.
Just like us, our happy doggos also get tired of chasing some vicious squirrels in the backyard all day long. They need some activities to keep themselves entertained. Visiting a pet-friendly motel can help you get out of your usual routine. It can also help you bond with your little furball. Just do some research for pet-friendly accommodations, pack your goodies, make your pet wear a fun and comfortable leashes like this one, and have a memorable adventure.
- Learn some new tricks
If you are training your pooch for a while, the fido is likely to understand how to roll over or fetch. The pup may also know how to spin, shake hands, or play dead. All these activities have nothing new in them. So the best thing you can do is to teach your dog some new tricks. Not only can trick training improve your canine's overall obedience, but it will also boost your pup's confidence and flexibility.
If your smart pet is a feisty fellow, you may want to put him on a leash while training. Opt for this super durable, colorful leash made with 100% pure cotton, and don't forget to have fun working on new tricks!
- Dress up for Halloween
Isn't Halloween the best holiday to enjoy with your pup? Dress up your pooches in simple costumes and transform them into whatever character you like! Make them a dog-dragon, a ghostbuster, Santa's reindeer, or maleficent. Snap a thousand pictures of you and your gorgeous pup, and head out for some fun trick and treat time.
- Walk on the beach
With the hot weather out of the way, there is no excuse not to spend some quality time with your canine on the beach. Play fetch and run along with your pup on the sand.
If the dog likes, let him splash in shallow waters. But don't forget to take some precautions, so your fun-filled day doesn't end in disaster. Invest in a good quality life jacket to keep your precious furball secure. We personally recommend this reflective adjustable and waterproof life jacket by Okepets for swimming. The vest comes with adjustable straps, a rescue handle, and quick-release buckles, allowing you to adjust the size to the proper position for maximum comfort and security.
- Take your happy doggo to work with you.
While most workplaces may not allow it, surprisingly, some organizations let their employees bring their pets to work with them. And what seems to be the problem? After all, a fluffy and snugly desk mate makes the whole working day much breezier!
Your pooch will love the extra time spent in your company, not to mention the pets he will be getting from all of your colleagues.
- Head to a dog-friendly store
For canine owners, the thought of leaving their beloved pet behind is always devastating. So why not go shopping with your fuzzball? Let the fido help you choose some goodies and create some lovely memories!
Although some stores and supermarkets are pretty inaccessible for canines, plenty of pet-friendly stores allow you to bring your doggos with you. Check the store policies online before you head out for an epic shopping trip.
- Play frisbee
If your canine knows how to play fetch with a ball or a wooden stick, level up the game and teach him to play with a frisbee. Though at first, the pup may find it challenging to catch a flying disc, with a bit of patience, he will master this skill as well.
- Get a doggy massage.
As much as we enjoy a relaxing massage after a super swamped week, we shouldn't be the only ones benefiting from a trip to the spa. Our canine friends can also visit the spa every once in a while. Although you may not be able to get the little soul a Thai massage, something more gentle can help your pooch calm those tensed muscles.
- Play with toys together
Every dog has a toy that he loves more than any other thing. It can be the one your fido enjoys playing with by himself, but we are sure your pooch won't mind you becoming a part of his play session.
- Plan a doggy play date
If your pup seems interested in playmates of his own kind, find him one and set up a play date. This won't be a problem if you know some pet owners in your area. However, if you don't, look for a fido in dog parks or at canine daycares.
- Go on a picnic
Instead of chasing after our fluff balls, some days, we just want to relax and take a deep breath in a refreshing atmosphere. But the problem is that our fidos don't like to stay in one place for long periods. A picnic is the best solution for you to meet in the middle, as while your pup romps around, you can munch on some cake on the blanket.
- Visit a dog park
Letting your indoor dogs socialize with other pets is always a great idea. It helps the pup make new friends and develop his confidence. However, ensure that you have proper control over your fido, so he does not become a fight magnet.
- Take obedience classes
Even if your pooch is a well-trained and obedient pet, taking some extra obedience classes will cause no harm. In fact, it may teach you something new about your canine.
Wrapping up
So here we are done with the 13 most fun things to do with your dog. Follow these tricks and make some incredible memories with your smart pet. But before you jump on any activity, make sure your fur baby is healthy enough to keep up with your spirit. If in doubt, consult your vet.
Have fun with your happy doggos!
