Your walks look way more fun that the usual down the block and back. Honey is one lucky dog.

On another note, I am trying the dog trailer again with Chester and Gretel this year. They don’t mind sitting in it at all. Gretel actually loves it. They just start to bark when we are moving. The hubby won’t go on rides with us anymore 🙁 I am trying again this year by starting them on short trips and giving them lots of treats. We went for our first spin around the block Monday.

Since reading about something similar on another doggy blog, typist is always looking for something to practice agility on – since she started her dog with this recently – however she really struggles! She may need to get more creative!

Great post! Thanks for the smile.

We live in a rural area so each of our walks are interesting, but looks like I need to get a little more creative with our dogs!

I envy all of you that have nice places to walk your dogs. 🙂
My neighborhood is awful for walking. I still go, but I don’t like it.

Eight months of snow, good grief!! That would be really great exercise for both of you! Honey does get plenty of variety on your walks.

Kind of relevant to your last post, 12 months ago (so hard to believe!) we moved here basically for the dogs. We’re close to the beach, sand dunes and forest. Lugging a camera, water bottle and bum bag full of essentials up and down sand dunes while trying to keep a Greyhound in sight is great exercise for me too! We virtually never walk the streets now. Plus we’ve got a huge front lawn perfect for Greyhound zoomies:) We’ve all declared the shift to be a success.

That looks like so much fun! Luna and I hope to explore a little more too and get more exercise that way. Your ideas are great!

We love heading to the park in the off-hours to play on the playground equipment. Koly thinks that’s his own personal jungle gym.

I’m guilty of the ‘boring walk around the neighbourhood’ thing – sometimes it’s the only thing I can manage on a tough day, but I make sure they’re walked every single day. Having said that, this post has inspired me to find the extraordinary in the ordinary – little moments that might make the walk more exciting (love the construction site ‘jump’/challenge). Thanks 🙂

I think Kobi gets some good resistance training when he is pulling on the leash trying to go somewhere that I don’t want him to! Usually because he smells something, which is really the only thing he wants to do other than walk. But I’ve always thought Sheba would enjoy some agility, so I’m going to try to find a place to walk her where she could do some of that!

Besides trying to see if we can walk fast enough to give my husband and heart attack, you mean? Part of our daily circuit involves walking through the park, so we take time to investigate new things there when we can. Kuster thinks the pavilion with all the picnic tables stacked in it for winter storage is one of the best agility fields ever!
