Bringing your dog along on an outing can instill confidence, teach them manners, strengthen your bond, encourage socialization and provide much-needed mental stimulation.

While there are plenty of pet-friendly excursions in the Valley, there are a few things to keep in mind first before you head out on a new adventure. Here at the Arizona Animal Welfare League, we recommend embarking on the following excursions with your dog while keeping your pet’s safety in mind.

Take a hike

Arizona is home to many hiking trails with stunning views of the desert, from Dreamy Draw to Double Butte Loop Trail in Papago Park. A hike is a great way to explore the outdoors.

When bringing your dog hiking for the first time, make sure to start with a shorter trail and pack the essentials. Bring boots for your pup’s paws, lots of water and sun protection. Remember to keep your pet protected from fleas and ticks, as well.

Finally, keep the temperature in mind. On a warm day, and they’re all warm days during the summer month, start early in the morning when it’s cooler outside. But before you go, check the park’s website to ensure it’s pet-friendly!

Explore a local farmers’ market

Support local growers and artisans by checking out a farmers’ market. Before you go, make sure that the market you’re visiting allows pets, even if it’s open air.

Also, keep your pup’s personality in mind. Crowded farmers’ markets can be overwhelming for a lot of dogs, with loud noises and lots of people. If your dog tends to be nervous or reactive to new things, they will probably prefer to stay in the comfort of their own home.

Plan a camping trip for your pup

 In Arizona, we’re lucky to be surrounded by a diverse selection of state parks. If you’re unsure how your pet will acclimate to camping, try taking a few day trips before planning a campout.

Before you go, research dog-friendly campgrounds and trails. Keep leash laws in mind — we suggest keeping your dog on leash for their protection when you’re camping and exploring wilderness areas.

Make sure they are up to date on their flea and tick medication and ensure their I.D. tag and microchip have the correct contact information. You will also want to pack a dog first aid kit and find a nearby vet or emergency clinic in case anything happens.

Take your furry friend out for dinner

There are tons of outdoor patios that accommodate furry friends across the Valley. Before you visit an outdoor patio, ensure it is dog-friendly and pack a tasty treat for your pup to enjoy. While dining out, be aware of other diners and dogs to help ensure a calm experience for you and others.

 If your dog is easily overwhelmed or reactive, it may be difficult to take them on new adventures. Some dogs prefer to stay close to home in an environment that is comfortable for them.

However, some of these pups may benefit from a low-cost training course like offered by organizations like AAWL,  to help them build confidence and refine their manners.
