Fun Summer Ideas For You And Your Dog
A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.” – Josh Billings
Summer is a great time to spend with your furry friend and engage in fun activities that can also benefit their physical and mental health.
Dogs, like humans, enjoy spending time outdoors and exploring new environments, and there are plenty of activities you can do together to keep your pet entertained while enjoying the beautiful summer weather yourself. Here are some great summer activities to do with your dog.
Try something new…
- Go for a swim – Dogs love to swim, and swimming is also an excellent form of exercise for them. Whether you have access to a pool, a lake, or a beach, taking your dog for a swim is a great way to beat the summer heat and provide them with a fun activity. Just be sure to supervise your dog at all times and provide them with a life jacket if necessary.
Play fetch or catch – Playing fetch is a classic activity that dogs love. Grab a ball or frisbee and head to a park or beach for a game of fetch or catch. Not only is this a great way for your dog to burn off some energy, but it also provides an opportunity for you to bond with your furry friend.
- Take a hike – Hiking is a great way to enjoy the great outdoors with your dog. Choose a dog-friendly trail, and pack plenty of water and snacks for both you and your furry companion. Just make sure to keep your dog on a leash and be mindful of their physical capabilities, safety, and limitations.
- Have a picnic – Summer is the perfect time to enjoy a picnic with your dog. Pack some treats and head to a nearby park for a relaxing afternoon in the sun. Just be sure to keep your dog on a leash and pick up after them.
- Try agility training – Agility training is a fun way to challenge your dog’s physical and mental abilities. Set up an obstacle course in your backyard or take a class at a local training facility. Not only is this a great way to bond with your dog, but it also provides mental stimulation and can improve their overall obedience.
Attend a dog-friendly event – Many communities host dog-friendly events during the summer months. Check your local community calendar for events like outdoor movies, concerts, and festivals that allow dogs. These events provide a great opportunity to socialize your dog and meet other dog owners in your community.
- Go on a road trip – Taking a road trip with Fido can be a great way to bond and explore new places together.

Just make sure to take frequent breaks and provide your dog with plenty of opportunities to stretch their legs and relieve themselves.

Whether it’s kayaking, paddle boarding, or even surfing, there are plenty of activities that you and your pup can enjoy together.
