The best summer activities for your dog will rarely be the same all season. Choose based on temperature, age, and energy level: walks during the cooler hours, scent work when it’s hot, and swimming only for dogs that actually enjoy the water.

Small changes, such as varying your walks or letting the dog work for its food, often make a big difference for both the dog’s well-being and daily life at home.
