New Years Resolutions with your dog!

Happy New Year! As the new year approaches, many of us make resolutions to improve ourselves and our lives. But have you ever thought about making resolutions with your furry friend? Here are a few ideas for New Year's resolutions you and your dog can do together:

1. Get more exercise: Make a commitment to take your dog on longer walks or runs, or try a new activity like hiking or dog sports like agility. Not only will this benefit your dog's physical health, it will also provide a chance for both of you to bond and spend quality time together.
2. Improve your dog's training: If your dog is still learning basic obedience commands, make it a goal to work on training every day. Or, if your dog already knows the basics, consider enrolling in a more advanced training class to challenge both of you. Training not only helps your dog learn good manners, but it also helps to strengthen the bond between the two of you.
3. Try a new activity: Is there a new activity or hobby you've always wanted to try with your dog? The new year is a great time to start. Whether it's taking up dog-friendly sports like disc dog or flyball, or trying something new like dog-friendly yoga or dance classes, there are plenty of options to choose from.
4. Volunteer together: Many animal shelters and rescue organizations welcome volunteers and their dogs. Consider finding a local organization and committing to volunteering together regularly. Not only will you be helping animals in need, but you'll also be providing your dog with socialization and mental stimulation.
5. Practice good pet care: Make a resolution to stay on top of your dog's preventive care, including regular vet visits, dental care, and parasite prevention. This will help ensure that your dog stays healthy and happy throughout the year.
6. Spend more time with your dog doing FUN activities, and leave the cleaning to us!  We’ll keep the yard landmine free, so you can your dog can enjoy the yard and have one less task to worry about!

By making resolutions together, you and your dog can improve your bond and have a fun and rewarding year. Here's to a healthy and happy new year for you and your furry friend!
