I grew up with dogs and cats. My husband and I got our first puppy when our children were small and took several training classes to learn the proper way to handle dogs. We now have two large dogs that I walk every day, rain or shine. I like staying fit and walking our dogs helps me stay young and stress free!

Dog Walking in Golf
The village of Golf in Cook County covers half a square mile, and has a population of just under 500. Although it is tiny, it still has plenty to offer visiting pups. This area is rich in woodland areas to explore and pup-friendly parks to play at, and is less than 20 miles north of Chicago.
The must-do while in Golf is to walk the North Branch Trail
which runs right through the woodland areas of Golf. This paved trail runs
almost 20 miles from Northbrook north of Golf, to Chicago in the south. You
need to keep your dog on a lead here, but it is an easy path with plenty to see
along the way, and you can choose to wander as far as you like. As always when
venturing out on a hike, go prepared with your water, any snacks you might
like, and your clean up bags.
Deiderich Park in town is another great little green space to catch some fresh
air with your dog. You can go for an on-lead walk around the park, or just stretch
out on the grass and watch the world go by. From here, take a walk through the
town of Golf and check out the historic buildings and shops. You and your dog are
sure to enjoy your time here in Golf.

The wooded park is bisected by the North Branch of the Chicago River, and offers up scenic views and plenty of wildlife to spot. There are two trails on the west side of the river, as well as two sections leading from the Harms Woods parking area on the east. The main trail heading south and an offshoot will take you on a 1.2 mile detour east around Harms Flatwoods. There are plenty of picnic areas, and restrooms are available near the carpark. Bring your water bottle and a drinking bowl for your pup, as well as your clean up bags.

Morton Grove, and is a beautiful place to take a walk with your pup on the lead.
The trails through here are well-maintained, taking you along the North Branch
of the Chicago River and through wooded areas and prairies. The main trail
cutting through here is a paved section of The North Branch Trail system, but
there are other trails to explore as well. Pack your picnic to take a break at
one of the groves or tables in the area, take plenty of water and don’t forget
your clean up bags.

Hollow Park in nearby Glenview is a great little spot for a walk through the
woods, around the grassed area and over a stream. There are picnic areas here
and a playground for little two-legged companions as well. For a nice hot cuppa
or something to eat after your play at the park, check out Glenview Grind.
There are six outdoor tables that welcome pets here, and plenty of tasty treats
on the menu to tempt you. Flavored coffee, smoothies or juices will keep your
thirst at bay, and a delicious cinnamon roll, bagel, yogurt or muffin will
ensure your tummy is happy too!

beautiful park worth checking out in this area is Gallery Park in Glenview. There
are paved walking trails circling Glenview Lake for a little on-lead stroll
with your dog, and plenty of grassed areas in the 140-acre park for a fun game
of catch or Frisbee. In the same area is Little Bear Park, which your human
children will love to play at while you walk the surrounding paths with Fido. Adjacent
to the park is a shopping centre where you will find several options for a
pup-friendly lunch out. Eggsperience Pancakes and Café, Noodles & Company,
Yard House, Potbelly Sandwich Shop and Forever Yoghurt all allow dogs at one of
their outdoor tables while you enjoy your meal or refreshing drink.

five miles from Golf is the Community Bark West Dog Park in Glenview. Here, your
pup can escape the lead and run to his heart’s content, burn off some energy
and meet some new friends. You will first need to purchase a pass from the Glenview
Park District, so go prepared with all of your dog’s veterinary paperwork. The
fenced six-acre park is well-maintained and has walking paths throughout. There
are water fountains for dogs and people, and waste disposal facilities on-site
to keep the place clean for all users. You can supervise your pup while taking
some time out at one of the benches or under the shelter.
