The #FreeYourDog Project

It's #FreeYourDog Friday!--October Edition

Each month, we post ideas hoping to inspire dog owners to try new and creative adventures with their dogs.  Last week, we took Pixie the one year old Aussiedoodle on an extra special birthday adventure. We helped Pixie to discover her inner Spiderman, by introducing her to Puppy Parkour! While wandering the woods, we found some big, thick, fallen trees, rocks, and cement barricades, and helped Pixie to practice her climbing, hopping, and balancing skills as we scaled limbs and played around the river.   Parkour is a great exercise in full-body awareness ("wait...I have back feet?!"), and can be excellent for building up your dog's trust and confidence. Remember: your dog may not be the best at gauging just how high is too high, choose safe spaces that allow your pup to jump up and down easily and safely. Walk along with your dog as they explore and balance. Have fun, and make the experience positive for everyone!  Do you have photos of you and your dog out on a creative adventure? Help us to spread the word by using the hashtag #FreeYourDog! Let's spread the fun!
