How To Have The Best Summer With Your Dog

Summer is here, it's official! With two excited spaniels, and one loving Husband by my side, we're set to make this The Best Summer for both the humans and the fur-babies.

How to Have The Best Summer With Your Dog

Early morning and Sunset walks
Not only does this help with the (possibly) warm weather, and keeping your dogs cool, but making the most out of the longer days is such a treat. It also extends the day perfectly, especially if you have work all day.
Golden hour walks are our favourite, everywhere is quite and it all looks so pretty. We love walking up our local hill and over looking the town, or even going further afield with that much extra daylight it's worth making the most of it.

Explore and Adventure
Days off and Weekends should be filled with exploring new places and taking your dogs for an adventure. In Wiltshire there are so many lovely walks and dog friendly places to visit, and it's always fun to try something new.
We love making the most of it and finding a dog friendly cafe or pub, before heading for fun new walk.

Head to The Beach
Although the dog rules on most beaches change in the Summer, there are still always beaches to visit with your pooch. Pack your bag for the day and head out for a swim, beautiful coastal walk and maybe an ice cream or two.
The beaches we love to visit are Mudeford (and Hengistbury Head) as well as West Wittering. Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove are also great for an extra active walk....up and down those hills and steps!

Mini Trip or Holiday
It truly is the best Summer with your dog if you pack the pooch and let them join you on holiday. From a short Weekend away to a long holiday, taking your dog is the best idea. There are so many wonderful dog friendly hotels and cottages available, there's no excuse not to take them with you. You can see all our dog friendly trips and book one for yourself. 

Visit Dog Shows
So much fun for all the family, with dog shows and country shows lined up over Summer and beyond. Have the best Summer with your dog by heading off to Paws in The Park, Countryfile Live or even The Game Fair. Many smaller dog shows will be happening in around your area too, so keep an eye out. Your dogs social calendar will be more full than yours.
We'll be visiting Lydiard Bark at the start of July

So let us know, what's first on your list for having the best Summer with your dog?
