National Anti-Boredom Month With Your Dog

The month of July is the official Anti-Boredom month. It’s easy to get bored, especially with this pandemic. Let’s discuss ways both you and your dog can overcome this mental desert and have fun.

These are five ways you and your dog can participate in National Anti-Boredom Month:

Visit a new place

Going to the same places can get boring easily. By visiting a new place, you get a change of scenery which will have a positive impact on both your moods. Go for a walk to get some fresh air and exercise, which will expose your dog to new territory and new smells. There’s also the potential to meet dog parents and their pooches.

Find a hobby

Get up off the couch for once, and find yourself a challenge. Don’t allow yourself to become lazy. Try an activity like stitching or knitting that will allow you to make doggy clothes and beds. You can also take up woodworking and make your dog a new house or stairs.

Have a dog party

A popular trend in the doggy world is dog parties. Here, you invite a bunch of friends over who have dogs, and you all mix and mingle. You can play games together, get to know each other, or just chill out and watch the dogs have fun. You can even learn neat tips and tricks from other dog parents, or share cool recipes with each other.

Go to the beach

In July, the weather is perfect for a beach picnic. Be sure to bring toys, a dog life jacket, and of course food to keep both you and your dog entertained. It will give you some time to catch up on your tan or get in touch with nature.

Try new foods

Ditch your go-to foods and explore the culinary realm. You can also include your dog in this adventure, just be sure to consult your vet if you plan to give your dog any human food. You can try new recipes, or go out to dog-friendly restaurants to experience new tastes.
