SPRING IS HERE
Fun Spring Things to Do With Your Dog!
As the clocks change and we welcome longer, brighter days, there’s no better time to get outside and enjoy spring with your dog. The shift to lighter evenings brings more opportunities for adventure, bonding, and fresh-air fun, and your pup will definitely thank you for it.
If you’re looking for inspiration, here are some fun, dog-friendly spring activities, plus a few essentials you might want to grab from Cocopup London to make the most of the season.
🌸 1. Explore New Walking Routes
Spring is the perfect time to switch up your usual walking routine. Parks are blooming, trails are drying out, and nature feels alive again. Try:
- Visiting a new park or nature reserve
- Exploring woodland trails filled with spring flowers
- Taking an evening stroll now that it’s lighter for longer
Top tip: A hands-free dog walking bagmakes it easy to carry treats, poo bags, and your phone while keeping your hands free for leads and coffee!
☀️ 2. Plan a Dog-Friendly Picnic
Longer days = picnic season officially starts. Pack a blanket, some snacks, and head to your local green space. Bring along:
- Fresh water and a collapsible bowl
- Dog-friendly treats
- A picnic blanket for cute comfort
A picnic is a fun, inexpensive way of getting outside with your dog, and usually makes for some cute photo opps!
🌼 3. Go on a Spring Staycation
Why not take advantage of the season and plan a dog-friendly getaway? The UK countryside is especially beautiful this time of year. Ideas include:
- Coastal walks with fresh sea air
- Countryside cottages with open fields
- Dog-friendly cafés and pubs
Make travelling easier with a Rucksack, perfect for keeping essentials organised on the go.
🐕 4. Try Some Light Training Outdoors
Spring is a great time to refresh your dog’s training in a more stimulating environment. Work on:
- Recall in open spaces
- Loose lead walking
- Fun tricks in the park
Reward-based training is key, so having easy access to treats is essential. A treat pouch can make training sessions smoother and more effective.
🌷 5. Capture Some Spring Photos
Spring is one of the most photogenic seasons, think blossoms, golden sunsets, and vibrant greenery. Take advantage of:
- Cherry blossoms and floral backdrops
- Golden hour walks after work
- Matching accessories for cute photo moments
Don't forget your spring co-ordinated accessories for the Instagram-worthy look.
