4. Visit a Dog Park
There's no better time to take your pup to a local dog park than on National Dog Day. By taking your pet to a dog park, they will be both mentally and physically stimulated, which can reduce troublesome behavior such as excessive barking and restlessness. You're also teaching them valuable social skills while giving them a safe space to play. Dog parks also promote active lifestyles for both you and your pup, in addition to providing the perfect spot to bond with your neighbors.
