N is for Nature

When you have a busy agility career, getting out to nature and enjoying some away time in the fresh air is good for everyone involved. Did you know, nature brings a lot of positives to agility dogs? Away time, chill time, fresh, healthy air, and a huge opportunity to exercise and keep those agility bodies in shape. Yep; nature is everyone's good pal. So enjoy and use it well.

Recently, I have taken my two active dogs to a local nature park. They loved running around, the wind in their faces as they ran around, smelling all those interesting smells in their path. I call it just being dogs! Agility and competitive dogs are dogs, duh.


Dogs are incapable of reading, duh...





This shadow is pointing at Earl!

So there you have it. Nature does a lot to help agility dogs keep happy and healthy. So don't be scared to get out there now, go for a long walk, run your dogs around, play, smile, and just enjoy the atmosphere. It will all be helping you all out in so many ways all at once.





We are joining our hosts 2 Brown Dawgs and Heart Like a Dog for the Thursday Barks and Bytes Blog Hop. We send many thanks their way, and you can join in below.

    1. It was brilliant. No swimming this time. Earl hates water, and Ethel, well... it wasn't swimming weather, as such. There weren't many opportunities to swim, being honest. But swimming is a great way of exercising those joints in dogs.
