Activities For Spanadors

One of the most common dog-owner activities is going for a walk. As simple as it is, walking actually has a lot of benefits for dogs. It is not only a great form of exercise for your pooch, but it also doubles as a bonding moment between the two of you. Unfortunately, if you have an office job or you are gone for most of the day, you may sometimes neglect your dog’s need for a daily stroll. If this is the case, you can opt to go for a walk on a lovely evening. Night strolls also give you an opportunity to explore and see an area that you only typically see during the day. After all, there is something endearing about going for a walk with your best buddy underneath the stars. 

Spanadors are some of the most active designer dog breeds to ever be developed. Hence, as an owner of this pooch, you constantly need to come up with new and exciting activities that will help them burn some calories and keep their minds stimulated. An all-time favorite among owners of high-energy dogs is the game of tug-of-war. Not only is it a great form of physical and mental exercise, tug-of-war is also fun, exciting and engaging. Contrary to popular belief, this game does not promote dominant and aggression. In fact, when done right, it is a good way to teach your dog some good manners and discipline. 

Are you looking to channel your inner Indiana Jones? A great activity that can unleash the explorer and adventurer in you is geocaching. Similar to a scavenger hunt, but slightly more advanced and modern, geocaching is an activity that involves looking for items buried in specific locations using only coordinates and a GPS device. Another great thing about geocaching is that you can bring your dog along as your sidekick. This activity presents a lot of opportunities for exercise, bonding and stimulation for not only you but also your pooch. People from all over the country participate in geocaching so it shouldn’t be too difficult to find some hidden treasures near you.
