A relaxing day with your dog

Both dogs and humans have a great need for relaxation. A relaxing day to spend together is a very nice project. Spend a whole day in slow motion, without stress and pressure, just to rest and enjoy the good things in life. And when you have a dog, it’s even better, because they too need a few moments of relaxation from time to time.

Here are 6 ideas for a perfect day of relaxation with your dog …

1. Take a day off: This is the most obvious thing you can do if you really want to relax: don’t go to work. Ask for a day off; This will allow you to get the most out of it with your dog.

2. A nap outside: If the weather permits (in case of a heat wave, avoid taking it between the end of the morning and 4 in the afternoon), take a good nap for 2 outside. There are many places where you can take a nap during the day, depending on where you live: beach, field, park, etc.

3. A longer walk: Give your dog a longer walk than usual, ideally in a natural setting to combine relaxation, wonder and fresh air. Walking can be a good way to start physical activity. All the items and objects found in your walking environment can serve as a pretext for play and physical activity. For example:

* walk and jump down a small ravine

* Hike with an improved path between rocks and trees.

* running up the stairs

* running in a public park

* play with a tree branch

* an extended game of catch or seek

* or even hide and seek

4. Massages and wellness: What would happen if you dedicated this day of relaxation to wellness treatments for you and your 4-legged friend? Obviously, if your budget allows it, make an appointment at a massage parlor and do the same with your puppy. In fact, there are canine massage professionals, but you can massage it yourself by learning the basic movements.

5. Full of caresses and tenderness: Stroking your dog is an art! Beyond the strokes we give our dog on a daily basis, sometimes even unconsciously and mechanically, there are others we give by looking your animal directly in the eye for a real connection. Just be careful not to pet him where he doesn’t like to be touched too much; for some dogs it is the head, while for others it is the rump.

6. Cocooning – You can simply spend the day relaxing at home, doing nothing, enjoying the comfort of the couch, and watching TV with your dog on your lap. Offer them some treats (without being over the top) and let them know how much you love them.

There are many ways that you can connect with your furry friend. Think of a few more, please.
