Dog walking in Colorado Springs

Dog Walking Fun Fact #1:

 Boredom got your dog howling the blues? Make sure your pooch doesn’t seek out fun in destructive ways with regular exercise. Daily walks can help them expend their energy while stimulating their mind, allowing them to relax when at home. After some walks around the block, spice it up with a stroll to some dog-friendly shopping in Old Colorado City.

Dog Walking Fun Fact #2:

Our dogs may seem far removed from their wolf ancestors, but the need to socialize is instinctual. In the wild, wolves play with other pack members to build confidence and learn how to behave. Walks through your neighborhood, or to a Colorado Springs dog park, can give your dog lots of chances to work on their social skills with new playmates.

Dog Walking Fun Fact #3:

Keeping active on daily walks isn’t just fun, it’s good for your dog too! Regular activity can reduce your canine pal’s risk of obesity, diabetes and heart disease, conditions which can shorten their active years. Stay healthy together on treks through your area, or get some history at the same time exploring Anasazi architecture at the Manitou Cliff Dwellings Museum atop a mesa.

Dog Parks in Colorado Springs

With a wealth of scenic views and lots of outdoor adventures, it’s easy to see why Colorado Springs is called The City of Millionaires! The northern Briargate neighborhood gives pups a furbulous place to ditch the leash at the Rampart Dog Park. Dogs of all sizes can mix and mingle in this fenced in open space dotted with shade trees.

East Colorado Springs features a blend of lively breweries, music and entertainment alongside pawsome hiking and biking areas. The large Palmer Park features lots of on leash hiking trails that snake through the park’s 700-acres, and even some off leash in the Yucca Area. Afterwards, head to the Palmer Dog Park’s fenced-in space for a free romp over flat terrain.

Residential West Colorado Springs calls true adventurers to explore on leash hiking featuring furrific views of the red rock sandstone formations at the Garden of the Gods. Your pup will love this National Landmark where they can grab a drink at The Café at the Garden terrace before heading to the Off-Leash Dog Area. Located to the east of the Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site, this unfenced, open field is marked by posts, and surfaced with a mix of dirt and grass. Nearby, the Red Rock Canyon Open Space also features on leash trails to explore, but is most known among the canine pupulation for its off leash Upper and Lower Dog Loop Trails!

For a large, fenced in experience, the Bear Creek Dog Park in Southwest Colorado Springs is sure to tire out even the most energetic pooches! Right at the foot of the Cheyenne Mountains, this 25-acre pupperdise features a small dog section, drinking water, trails, and an agility course. There’s even access to a creek where your pup can wade in and cool down.

When heading out to any off-leash areas, make sure your dog has been fully vaccinated, licensed, and spayed or neutered. Keep clean-up bags on hand to pick up after your dog. Always have your dog leashed when entering or exiting off leash areas, and everywhere outside of them. In unfenced, off leash areas, be sure your dog responds well to voice commands.
