Summer is in full swing in PNW and that means it’s time for adventure! It can be hard to think of new ways to get your pup outside with you, so here are some of Koda’s favorite summer activities.
 

Camping

Camping might be Koda’s absolute favorite part about summertime, and your dog will love it too. He loves spending the whole day outside, snuggling into our sleeping bags with us, then waking up… OUTSIDE! We have so much fun taking Koda camping with us, and we can see how much fun he has too. The biggest thing we’ve learned camping is to always pack more food than you think your dog will need. Your dog will be burning far more calories than usual running, playing, and sniffing out a new adventure! Always be sure to be mindful of other campers and if you pack it in, pack it out! 

Hiking

If you don’t have a full weekend to spend exploring, hiking is a great way to get outside for a few hours and exercise your pup . There are trails and hikes for all levels and websites and apps can help you find dog-friendly and off-leash areas. Koda and I are lucky to live in the Pacific Northwest where we can explore a new place every weekend. Koda gets so excited when we fill up his backpack with treats and toys before a hike! 

 

The Beach

The beach is one of the best places to bring your dog. There are so many fun ways to enjoy the beach. Koda enjoys running in the tall grass, chasing seagulls in the sand, and playing in the waves. Bring a frisbee or toys that float to really wear out your pup! Koda usually sleeps for two days straight after a beach outing!  

Fishing

Taking Koda fishing with me is my personal favorite way to spend time with him outdoors. Together, we enjoy everything that the water has to offer. Koda has been fishing with me since he was a tiny puppy and still gets just as excited every time we head down to the water. Fishing with your dog takes patience! Koda used to get a little too excited when I’d hook a fish, but now, Koda no longer tries to jump in after fish or eat them – they sure do smell like his favorite Wellness treats! He does like to give them a kiss before we release them back into the wild! 

Boating

Boating can be a great way to spend time with your dog outside this summer! Koda loves to stand at the bow, ears bellowing in the wind. He has so much fun grabbing sticks out of the water and isn’t afraid to jump right off and go for a swim to cool down. Older dogs can enjoy a relaxing boat day by laying out in the sunshine. Be sure to pack snacks, water, and a life jacket for your dog!

Koda loves summertime and I treasure every minute I get to explore with him by my side. Combine any (or all!) of these activities for a weekend getaway your pup will love you for! Bonus brownie points from your four-legged explorer if you bring a backpack full of Wellness treats
