Canine bliss activities

Nanonaned

Let's do one for the language enthusiasts and also the ones on the couchier side of movement. There is this expression in Austrian German "nanonaned" that expresses with it's use of a tripple negative a clear and utter "yes, of course, stupid". In the list below I have collected some of the most obvious (nanonaned) activities your dog will most definitely enjoy and called it canine bliss activities (and yes, I repeat the title here because SEO gives me bliss or so they say). Use this list with a grain of salt, if you please...Nanonaned...

The list

Duh: Hiking and Nature Walks

You don't say...A dog might enjoy walking...outdoors...with you...Tada! I suggest you explore local trails or nature reserves with your dog. It’s great exercise (are you laughing already?) for both of you and provides stimulating new scents and sights for your dog, like cigarettes buds, a two for one item!

You could always go to Hamburg, ofc.

Duuh: Dog Parks

It stares us in the face and might be bold at the same time. Like biting into a raw onion. Visit a local dog park where your pup can socialize with other dogs and enjoy off-leash playtime in a safe, enclosed environment, while you get corrected or judged or both on every single detail you do with your dog. Enjoy watching your dog loose itself in stress and the utter feeling of being overwhelmed by the urine stench of a thousand dogs that came before you.

Sigh...Interactive Toys and Puzzles

Use toys that challenge your dog’s mind, like treat-dispensing puzzles (with which you don't have to lift a flipping finger!) or interactive toys (that let you keep chilling on the couch). These can keep them entertained and mentally stimulated, while you deteriorate at a rate that would appall Chancellor Palpatine turning into Darth Sidious. Unlimited soda!

Well...Beach Days:

If you’re near a dog-friendly beach, let your dog enjoy running on the sand and playing in the water. Many dogs love the freedom of a beach outing. Can't argue with that actually...We drove 6 hours just to swim in the ocean with Bea.

Ouch...Agility Training:

Set up an agility course in your backyard or join a local agility class. It’s a fun way to bond and keep your dog physically and mentally fit. But don't sprain your ankle! And use our recommended treats by Hunderunde (aff) or Bugbell (aff).

Come on...Training Classes:

Enroll in obedience or trick training classes. It’s a great way to teach new skills and reinforce good behavior while socializing with other dogs and owners. That's not a fun activity...it's a full blown necessity. Every dog should visit a class at least a couple of times.

What...Fetch and Tug-of-War:

Play classic games like fetch or tug-of-war in your yard or at a park. These games are great for exercising your dog and building your bond. Ok, just do it...I can't help it...But make sure not to wiggle the rope or the toy when the dog has latched onto it. You can seriously hurt their necks!

Mhm...Picnics:

Have a picnic where your pup can enjoy some time outdoors with you. Bring along their favorite treats and a blanket for a relaxing afternoon. THIS. IS. SO. OBVIOUS.

Hallelujah...Dog-Friendly Events:

Look for local dog-friendly events, such as dog parades, charity walks, or pet expos. These can be great opportunities for socialization and fun. But...Have you ever heard of something even remotely like that? A dog parade...what???

Didn't we just...Swimming:

If your dog enjoys water, take them swimming at a dog-friendly pool or natural water source. It’s excellent exercise and a fun way for them to cool off on a hot day. That's a fake out...what about the beach item on this list...But I have to say...Bea likes rivers more than the sea somehow...I think the sounds of the ocean give her the creeps...the spray...So...there's at least something to it.

Bea at the River Danube being majestic.

Don't.

Just don't tell me I missed something...Not on this list. Read another one and tell me there!
