Pet Adventures - Fun With Your Pet
Most of us just take our best furry friend for a walk around
the block, or perhaps through the park. Others go a little further, and
take their pet to the beach for a swim or hiking through the woods.
There are so many Pawsibilities.
DOG CAMPS
If you ever wanted to take a vacation and do nothing but spend time with
your dog, a dog camp is the place for you!
Dog camps allow you to spend
time with dozens of other canine lovers, and try a variety of canine
sports and activities. Some camps focus specifically on sports like
agility and obedience and are designed for the more serious competitor,
while others are geared to all types of dog owners and offer dozens of
activities for you and your dog. Many of the camps have overnight
accommodations.
OBEDIENCE COURSES
You tell Rover to sit up and he rolls over. You say "down" and she jumps
in your lap. Perhaps it is time to take your pet to an obedience course.
Some are held for several Saturdays in a row while others are intensive
3-day affairs. Beware, as there is no licensing for
pet trainers so you
need to check out the one you select. Although it will take an effort, you will also have
fun with your pet while learning.
FLY BALL IS FUN
How about teaching your pet to play
FLY BALL, then you can enter your pet
into competitions, which are held all over the country? Talk about pet
fun! Think about the
bragging rights around the water cooler when your pet wins his or her
first trophy.
MAKE YOUR PET A THERAPY DOG
Therapy dogs visit hospitals and nursing home to cheer up sick patients.
The benefit to the patient is well documented and it will make you feel
good as well. Check with a hospital or nursing home for their dog
therapy program. Therapy dogs also visit
children's long-term care
facility to "play" with residents. A great combination of wagging tails
and happy smiles.
A DOG PADDLING ADVENTURE - sort of the ultimate owner and
pet
adventure.
Experiencing a pet adventure such as a guided canoe trip on a lake or rivers is an unforgettable
event. Sunsets, swimming and laughing are just a few of the everyday
goings-on during a weekend (or longer!) canoe trip. Now add to this list
watching your puppy dog learn to swim for the first time, exploring your
island campsite off leash to his or her heart's content, and running and
playing with new canine and human friends before finally curling up
beside you in front of a blazing campfire. This is what a Dog Paddling
Adventures is all about?
A BOAT TRIP
If you think your pet loves to put his head out of the window of your
car can you imagine how happy they will be in the bow of a small boat
skimming over a lake or river? Tie that in with a swim on a pet friendly
beach and picnic and you have one happy pet. Before you go check out
Pet Travel Store
for a portable water bowl.
