Hot Weather Activities for Your Dog

Just about every dog is going to have some trouble with the hot weather.  

For some dogs even a slight elevation in temperature will find them seeking out the shade and wanting shorter walks. 

The heat itself can be tiring for a dog so it tends to shorten walks and activity.  This will result in us having to find creative ways to entertain our dog and burn some energy. 

For this episode I reached right into my Enrichment Database (available with YOUR Perfect Puppy) to find some activities that are perfect for a hot day.  

I have you covered if you want to play with water, sit in the shade with a frozen treat, or stay inside and avoid the heat altogether.

Enjoy! 

In this episode I talk about:

• Dogs that are sensitive to the heat.
• How to recognize heat stroke in a dog. 
• Different types of water activities to try with your pup.
• Different types of frozen treats to make for your pup.
• Indoor activities to avoid the heat all together.

Press play and enjoy!
