Dogs are up for anything. They’re your “pawtners” in crime, ready to take on new activities or just the standard walk down the street. Every activity is more fun with a four-legged best friend by your side. As fall settles in, it’s a perfect time to try out new adventures.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here are five things you can do this fall with your dog.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Picnic in the park.<\/b> Enjoy those last few days where the warm breeze lingers and head to the park. Bring along a blanket, snacks and a ball for your pup and take in the fresh air.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Hit the pavement. <\/b>Cooler temperatures and\u00a0changing scenery make for a perfect workout backdrop. Get a workout in for both you and your pup by running or walking a new trail or park. Looking for a motivation boost? Sign up for a 5K race and commit to reaching a new goal.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Make mealtime memorable. <\/b>Change up mealtime by picking a CESAR HOME DELIGHTS recipe like Meat Lasagna or Pot Roast with Spring Vegetables for your dog, and make the human version of it for yourself. Find more at cesar.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Snuggle up with a good book. <\/b>A rainy day is the perfect time to lay back and relax. Open a good book and read aloud to your canine friend. Science has shown dogs respond to human voices the same way humans do, so reading in a calm, soothing voice will likely lull your pup, and possibly you, to sleep.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 Learn a new trick. <\/b>With new seasons come new skills. Check out free “how-to” events in your community or sign up for a class you’ve always been interested in. While you’re sharpening your own skills, strengthen your bond with your dog and teach him a new trick, like how to fetch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
