4 Outdoor Activities for Pet Owners and Their Dogs
Time to Get Your Pup Out of the House
At Hounds Town Fort Lauderdale, we love activities that give dogs both physical exercise and brain challenges. Here are four outdoor activities you and your dog can enjoy together:

1. Explore Your Town (Adventure Time!)
Take your dog for a walk or run in a new part of your community. This is amazing for energetic dogs that need to burn off extra energy. Always bring water for both of you, especially on hot days.
New smells, new sights, new everything, your dog will think they've discovered a whole new world just a few blocks away.
2. Play Fetch (The Classic Never Gets Old)
Fetch is simple and most dogs absolutely love it. It gives them exercise and helps improve their coordination too. You can play in your backyard, at a local park, or even at the beach.
Pro tip: If your dog doesn't bring the ball back, you're just taking your dog for a walk while carrying a tennis ball. And that's okay too!
3. Try Agility Training (Obstacle Course Fun)
Agility training challenges your dog's coordination and focus. With stuff like tunnels, jumps, and weave poles, dogs can exercise both body and brain. You can create a simple course at home using household items or look for local classes.
Even if your dog just runs around the obstacles instead of through them, they're still having a blast.
4. Stay Cool with Water Play (Beat the Heat)
As temperatures go up, swimming and water play are amazing ways for dogs to stay active while keeping cool. Swimming is also easy on joints for dogs with arthritis or other joint problems. Always watch closely and think about a life vest for safety.
Warning: Your dog might become obsessed with water and refuse to leave any pond, pool, or puddle they encounter.
Keep That Energy Going All Year
At Hounds Town Fort Lauderdale, our doggy daycare offers safe, interactive play all day long even when its too hot and dangerous to be outside. This gives dogs the exercise and friendship they need, rain or shine.
After a full day with friends, your dog will head home ready to crash on the couch with you.
