Hiking with your Hound!
TAKE A TREK ON THE TRAIL LESS TRAVELED THIS SUMMER
|
 |
What better way to stay fit and enjoy some human-canine bonding than walking with your four-legged friend by your side? Your buddy doesn’t care what part of the country you live in, as long as you grab the leash and hiking essentials and head out to the nearest pet-friendly park or trail. There’s nothing more exhilarating for Fido than to be in the great outdoors and to be completely engrossed in nose-to-the-ground tracking of the wonderful scents of squirrels, birds and other dogs—the joy your dog exhibits will put a smile on your face and convince you to hit the trails on a regular basis this summer. |

Dogs Gone Wild!
FLYBALL DOGS
|
 |
Flyball is a fantastic sport for dogs that love to run and are obsessed with balls. This fast and exciting competition is a relay race between four high-spirited dogs and the course consists of hurdles to jump and a spring-loaded box that shoots out a tennis ball when the dog steps on it. After catching the ball, the dog runs back over the hurdles and crosses the starting line, allowing the next dog to take off. The team with the fastest time wins the race.

Make a Splash this Summer!
DOG-PADDLING, DOGGIE STYLE
|
 |
The dog days of summer are here. With the heat of the season, it’s a great time for you and your pup to take a dip in the pool or take a trip to a sandy beach or lake. Most dogs love the water and not only is swimming fun but it is also an invigorating workout that will build muscles and cardiovascular strength. |

PICO
Dock Diver Extraordinaire!
|
 |
“If she were a person, she’d be an Olympic athlete,” is how Anna Balsamo describes her four-year-old Belgian Tervuren, Pico, who has been the DockDogs® No. 1 ranked dog in the world for the past two years. And like a gold-medal winning Olympic athlete, Pico possesses athleticism, an intensely competitive spirit, courage and a properly structured body. Couple those raw qualities with proper nutrition and training, as well as a busy travel schedule, and you have what is required to dominate in this high-energy, crowd-
pleasing sport.
