Fun Things to do in the Fall with your Dog!

If you're just like me, then that means that your favorite time of year is knocking at your door!  Especially for my dog Jagger, he loves the cooler weather.  He's got a fluffy thick coat, so you could only imagine how that must feel for him to be in the hot weather compared to the cooler weather.  I know though for some people it may be difficult to know exactly what activities that you could still take place in with your furry friend to make sure you’re both enjoying your favorite time of year!  

Let’s say for example it is a crazy work day for yourself, but you know that your pup is in a more energetic state . . . You can always look into a local doggy daycare!  We use Barker Lounge in Cranford, New Jersey for Jagger and he loves it!  They have him get super tired by doing lots of fun activities with other pups.  

Sometimes the fall unfortunately doesn’t have the most clear skies, so on those days we love to have a movie marathon inside!  Our favorite movie that we’re watched together recently is “A Dog’s Purpose”.  

Also, I find moments like these to be prime times to work on husbanry skills with your pup incase they’re not the greatest at them.  Normally we take some really high reward treats and play with his paws or brushing him and rewarding him with the treats for being a good boy!  

Starting a new training class is always a wonderful option!  In our opinion their is never too much training you can do with your pup, it will only bring you closer.  

If you’re in the Union County, New Jersey area we have loved http://www.maryalverson.com/ !  She’s really personable with the pups and truley knows what she’s doing.  

Take a roadtrip to somewhere new with your pup.  Some new and fresh smells are always great, especially if you only really have them in one general setting.  

We love to take him to trails, beaches, or even towns to just get as many smells as possible.  

Dog Parks are amazing experiences for not only the pups but the owners!  It is an easy way for your pup to socialize without too much effort.  

We use Echo Lake Dog Park in Mountainside, New Jersey.  

Have a photo shoot!  My pup is always changing, so I try to take as many opportunities to take as many photos as possible!
