The Pure Joy of Running Free: My favorite activities with my dogs!
There's nothing quite like watching your dog truly live. For me, one of the greatest joys is hitting the trails or heading to the local park with my dogs by my side, whether that's with my bike or my Moto. Seeing them run at their natural pace, pushing their limits, and simply expressing themselves at the speed they're built for... it's absolutely beautiful.
Watching their hearts become full, seeing them genuinely happy as they unleash that inner athlete โ it's an incredible experience. We often forget just how crucial exercise is for our canine companions. I'm not talking about a couple of quick walks around the block; I mean letting them truly run, open up, and empty that gas tank of energy.
Freedom Meets Discipline
Even amidst the thrill of ripping switchbacks or cruising a paved path, I always weave in obedience training. We'll pause for sits, downs, or 'place' commands on various objects. This isn't just about structure; it's about adding that vital mental exercise.
Ultimately, the discipline my dogs have through training is the very reason they get to be so free. That balance of exhilarating adventure and consistent structure is what I love the most. It allows us to explore, play, and connect in a way that truly honors their natural instincts.
