13 Activities to Do with Your Dog This Fall

As the leaves start to change and the air turns crisp, we at Happy Pup Manor are excited to share some of our favorite fall activities that you can enjoy with your furry friend. We have expertise in training Doodles, Retrievers, and smaller breeds, so rest assured these activities are perfect for all dogs. Let’s dive in!

Make Fall-Themed Bandanas or Collars

Have a little fun with your pup’s wardrobe this season. Craft some adorable fall-themed bandanas and collars. This is a great opportunity to show off your creativity and your dog’s unique personality. Remember to ensure any materials used are safe and comfortable for your pet.

Bake Pumpkin Treats

Pumpkin is not only a symbol of fall but also a nutritious treat for your dog. Bake some homemade pumpkin doggie treats that will make your pup’s tail wag with joy. Just remember to avoid additives like sugar or nutmeg, which can be harmful to dogs.

Play in the Leaves

Nothing says fall like a pile of colorful leaves! Let your dog leap and play in them. It’s a great way for your pooch to burn off energy and for you to catch some memorable photos.

Have a Movie Marathon

Curl up on the couch with your pup for a movie marathon. While your dog might not appreciate the plot twists, they will surely enjoy the cuddles and comfort of being by your side.

Make a Blanket

Create a cozy fall blanket for your dog to snuggle in during the chilly fall nights. Choose soft, warm materials that will make your dog feel secure and loved.

Visit a Pumpkin Patch

Take your dog on an adventure to a local pumpkin patch. It’s a great opportunity for socialization and exercise. Remember to keep your dog on a leash and respect the rules of the pumpkin patch.

Decorate or Carve a Pumpkin

Include your dog in the Halloween fun by letting them ‘help’ you decorate or carve a pumpkin. Keep any sharp tools and pumpkin seeds out of reach, as they can be dangerous for your pup.

Take Themed Photos

Capture the spirit of fall or Halloween by taking themed photos of your dog. Whether they’re dressed up in a cute costume or posing with pumpkins, these photos will be a hit on social media and a cherished memory for years to come.

Host a Doggie Halloween Party

Invite your fellow dog lovers and their furry friends over for a doggie Halloween party. Plan some fun games, prepare dog-friendly treats, and don’t forget the costumes!

Go for a Hike

Fall is the perfect time for a hike with your dog. The weather is cool, and the scenery is breathtaking. Remember to bring water for both you and your pup, and keep them on a leash at all times.

Go Camping

Think about going camping with your dog for a weekend adventure. It’s a fantastic opportunity to immerse yourself in nature and create lasting memories together.

Create an Outdoor Obstacle Course

Create a fun obstacle course for your dog to enjoy! Set up tunnels, hurdles, and other interactive elements to keep them entertained and active.

Introduce Fall Foods to Your Dog’s Diet

Fall is the season of cranberries, turkey, carrots, pumpkin, and sweet potatoes – all of which can be great additions to your dog’s diet. Always introduce new foods gradually and in moderation.
