A New Year of Adventurous Days

As one year comes to a close, the next is ready and full of potential adventure. That’s why
so many people make resolutions this time of year.
Whether you’re trying to be more active, work on your mental health, or just looking to get
out of the house, here are five ways you can seek adventure with your best buddy in this
year.

1. CAMPING TRIP
Camping with your dog can be a great way to spend time outdoors and give your
dog endless opportunities to explore. It can also give you a chance to get some
fresh air and unplug.
You can keep it local or venture out a little further! There are many national parks
across the country that offer dog friendly trails and camping sites.

2. HIKING
Unleash adventure on a trail. Not only will your dog get the chance to explore, but
you’ll both get in a little exercise. Find the type of trail that works best for you. Just
remember to come prepared. If you need a protein bar halfway up the mountain,
there’s a good chance your dog will need some nutritional support too.

3. A DOG-FRIENDLY BEACH
Many beaches across the country will happily host you and your companion for a
day in the sun! Be sure to pack portable bowls for fresh food and water so that
everyone stays full and hydrated. If your dog likes to swim you’ll also want to pack
towels.
Sites like bringfido.com can help you find dog-friendly beaches or lakes near you.

4. PADDLE BOARDING/CANOEING
Spending a day on the water can be a great way to explore with your dog.
Oftentimes outdoor outfitters enable you to rent a paddle board or canoe for
hourly rates or by the day.
Your pup will be a fun companion out on the water. Be prepared, they’ll probably
want the front seat. Enjoy the warm weather and the cool water but don’t forget to
practice good dog safety habits while on the water.

5. A DOG CLUB
If you and your dog are looking for a more social activity, consider searching for a
local dog club. These groups specialize in hosting events for you and your dog to
meet other dog-lovers in your community, and gives your dog the ability to meet
new friends!
With the new year underway, many of us may be looking for fun ways to stick to our new
year resolutions. This list is sure to get you off to a great start.
