Dog Park

This is an absolute no brainer, but I am going to mention it either way. Look for a dog park in your vicinity and make sure to make a trip to it along with your pawed buddy as often as you can. These areas are especially made for your dogs where you can unleash them, something that you know they love.

Dog Play Dates

If you visit the dog park often, your pet will most likely develop camaraderie of sorts with the other dogs who play in the park. You can then develop a friendship with the owners of those dogs and set up play dates for your pets. It needn’t be the park alone; it could even be one of your homes. It will certainly make your dog happy to have some time to play with his pal.

Sporting Events

Now I don’t mean a professional cricket match in a stadium, for that isn’t allowed. However, if you and your buddies are playing a match of football at the local ground then why not let your dog tag along? All the energy he is going to get by simply watching you guys play, is going to get him all pepped up. And after the match you can kick about a few balls with your pet as well.

Ice Cream Runs

Feel like having ice cream late at night, and are planning to make a quick trip to the ice cream parlour? Take your dog with you. A lot of ice cream parlours today have outdoor seating where you can enjoy your cold treat. Here you can also treat your pet to a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I bet you, your pet will love you for the sweet treat. Just keep the chocolate flavours far away from them.

Sun And Sand

Your dog is going to love the beach. Dogs love water, and the beach has a never ending supply of it. Let your pets loose and let them splash around in the water and run around in the sand. Carry a Frisbee or ball with you; your pooch will love to play ‘catch’ and ‘fetch’ with you here, as the beach is a perfect place for the game.

As I mentioned before, all dogs love the outdoors, and what is more outdoor than camping in the open. Plan a trip with your buddies and your pet, and even their pets if possible.

It will be a good change for your pet, away from the busy hustle and bustle of the city.
