FUN THINGS FOR YOU & YOUR DOG IN THE COLD
When the temperature drops and the snow begins to fall, it's tempting to stay indoors and hibernate with your dog. However, there are plenty of fun and engaging activities you can enjoy together in the chilly months. Let’s explore a few entertaining and cold-weather-friendly activities to keep both you and your furry friend active and happy.
Winter Hiking Adventures Put on your warmest winter gear and hit the trails with your dog. Many hiking routes are even more picturesque in the snow, offering a unique and serene experience.
Snowball Fetch If your dog loves playing fetch, try it in the snow! Roll up a snowball and toss it for your pup to chase. Just make sure it's not too hard, and always supervise your dog to ensure they don't accidentally ingest any snow or ice.
Indoor Agility Training Set up an indoor agility course using household items like broomsticks, cardboard boxes, and cushions. Teach your dog to navigate the course, jump over hurdles, and weave through obstacles. This mentally stimulating activity is a great way to keep your dog active and engaged.
Snowy Scavenger Hunt Hide treats or toys in the snow for your dog to find. You can bury them slightly to make it more challenging. As your dog sniffs out each hidden treasure, reward them with praise and playtime.
Training Classes & Events Doggie Central offers a wide variety of classes and events to choose from to provide for a fun and rewarding time together.
Doggie Treat Baking Spend a cozy afternoon indoors baking homemade dog treats. There are countless dog-friendly recipes available online, from peanut butter biscuits to sweet potato chews.
Snuggle Time Don't underestimate the power of snuggling on a cold winter day. Spend quality time cuddling with your dog by the fireplace or under a warm blanket.
Cold weather doesn't have to put a freeze on your fun with your furry friend. These activities are not only enjoyable but also help keep your dog physically and mentally stimulated during the winter months. With a little creativity you and your buddy can make the most of the cold weather and together.
