Celebrate Summer!

Get out and Walk but don’t forget to Stop & Smell the Roses.

TH Kilo smell roses

This Fit Dog Friday we’d like share some fun ideas on enjoying the last days of summer from the Talent Hounds Community

Swimming

“Roxy loves to swim!!  So of course we invite her in the pool to cool off.  We all have super fun swimming and throwing her ball so that she dives in to retrieve.” -Alice

Hit the Dog Park

“I love taking my dog to the park, she’s just a pup and has tons of energy and really enjoys running for sticks or any kind of toy you throw for her”- Rebecca

“Bella, Terra, & Kronos celebrate summer by going on some new adventures and exploring. We went to Flagstaff and explored the forests, the meadows (that’s what the attached picture is), and the town. Before summer ends we’ll be going to a lake near us and spending the day swimming and enjoying the warm weather before it begins to cool down.” -Tiffany

Try Some Sports

“We take our team of five (5) dogs, known as the K9 PAT Platoon, around to various parks, fairs and retirement homes and entertain crowds with “Frisbee Dog” shows.” -JJ

    Some great ideas! We are busy with out normal walking and running but now Bailie has a lot of tracking homework to work on and we both have nose work. Both can be done outdoors, so that is what we are up to.

      Thanks Emma- sounds fun- you and Bailey are so talented at tracking. Kilo does not seem that great at nose work, even sniffing around for fallen treats. Maybe because of his squishy face or maybe because he gets overwhelmed by all the new smells. Sometimes he can’t even focus on walking. However I think he will eventually be really good at tricks and agility once he learns to cope with other new people and dogs. Have a great weekend

    Those are all great ideas for summer. I can’t believe it’s already so late in the year, we’ve got leaves falling in the backyard…

    I don’t think I’m ready for fall yet! Hoping for an Indian summer so we can get a few more hikes in.
