Ideal Dog Dates: 10 Fun Activities To Do With Your Dog

Whether you’ve just started dating or have been married for years, it can be fun and exciting to spice things up with new date ideas that are perhaps a little out of the ordinary for you and your partner. You and your partner aren’t the only couples who have found themselves in the “So, what do you want to do?” cycle.

Making date night plans can be even more difficult if you and your partner are dog owners who despise leaving their pet at home. Fortunately, you can turn a date into a proper family outing by bringing your furry companions. Thanks to these dog-friendly date ideas, you can embark on a new adventure together.

Have A Picnic

Grab a basket and head to the park, and enjoy the freshly made lunch under the sun. Pack a stuffed animal and some treats for your pup to keep him entertained while eating and talking. It will allow you to talk and get to know each other in a peaceful setting, and your dog will enjoy the fresh air and exercise.

Take A Long Walk On The Dog Beach

When you think of dating, the phrase “long walks on the beach” comes to mind. It’s very romantic to walk hand in hand along the beach with warm sand between your toes and the sound of waves lapping at the shore. But it’s even more enjoyable when your pup runs into the water and makes new dog friends. Bring a ball or a toy to a dog beach near you and have some fun.

Go For A Pet Charity Walk

There are numerous charity events for you and your dog to attend, such as Best Friends Animal Society’s Strut Your Mutt charity dog walk in cities across the United States. Look into local charity walks in your area. You and your partner can get some exercise, meet other dog lovers, and all while raising money for a good cause. Your dog will be delighted to run around and meet other canines.

Eat And Drink At Dog-Friendly Bars Or Restaurants

Al Fresco dining with dogs is becoming increasingly popular in restaurants and bars with outdoor seating. Some locations even host dog events where your pup can join you indoors. Check the calendar at your local pub or speak with someone who works there about organizing your event. Always check with a business to see their rules before bringing your dog along.

Visit A Farmers Market

An outdoor farmers market is a great place to shop for produce while also supporting local farms, and it’s enjoyable to walk around and talk to people. You and your significant other can stock up on fruits and vegetables, and your dog will be delighted to go for a walk outside. Some vendors may even leave a bowl of cool water out as a doggy re-hydration station. But if you plan to stay outside for an extended period, bring a water bottle with you just in case.

Hit The Hiking Trails

If you live near a hiking trail, take advantage of it and reconnect with nature. You and your companion can enjoy exercising and admiring the beautiful scenery, which is enhanced by the fact that each weather of the year has unique views to offer. Your dog will enjoy sniffing all the new smells while you and your partner work the old muscle. Again, bring plenty of water to keep you and your pup hydrated.

Be Retro – Drive-In Movie

The decade of the 1950s is making a comeback! During the summer, many local parks host outdoor movie screenings. In comparison, your dog may not be bothered by Ferris Bueller’s day off. As long as they are with you, they will not complain.

Go To A Local Pet Shop

Visit a pet store with your date if you want to spoil your pets. If your date loves pets as much as you do, you could always get your pets together, go to a pet store for shopping and make a day of it. You and your date could converse and get to know one other better. Your dogs will be able to sniff around, make new acquaintances, and even select some new toys.

Grab Starbucks

Listen, I get that Starbucks is generic, but people love it, and people love it because it’s delicious, OK? You and your date can have coffee cups, and your pups can get free pup-cups, which are child-sized whipped cream cups that Starbucks distributes to its canine customers! Simply request one at the desk.

Go To A Dog-Friendly Bar

Now that the rest of the world has realized how wonderful dogs are, more and more dog-friendly establishments are springing up. There’s are terrific dog-friendly outdoor bars equipped with enormous cups for beer pong. It’s a fantastic hangout spot, and your city may have one similar to it.

For instance, in New York City, there is a fabulous dog-friendly cafe! Look for a dog-friendly bar or one with a patio where you can sit with your pups. You’ll have a terrific time, some decent beverages, and your dogs will most likely attract many strangers’ attention.
