You are no doubt familiar with the daily walking services offered by most pet sitting services that provide a way for your dogs to get out for some regular exercise and a midday break.
But did you know that some pet sitters also offer fun dog adventures such as hikes and swimming excursions. These type of trips usually last 2-3 hours and give dogs a strenuous work out – in fact some services even provide these activities as part of a fitness training program for your dog!
Some of the benefits of getting your pooch involved in these trips other than the exercise are:
- Socialization – adventure trips usually involve several dogs that are taken together so your dog gets to spend some quality to with canine companions.
- Fun – your dog gets to explore new places and get involved in activities that normally they may not be exposed to.
- Mental stimulation – many of these trips also engage the dogs in training such as agility or water games so that your dog comes home mentally and physically tired. This may aid in combatting any behavior issues arising from boredom in your home.
