3. Try New Activities

You aren’t the only one that can pick up a new hobby! From agility classes to dog-friendly yoga, introducing your pup to new experiences is a great way to strengthen your connection.

Consider signing up for a local activity or event that suits both your interests. Not only is it a great way for you both to get more exercise and beat the winter-time boredom, but it can improve your communication and overall bond.

4. Focus on Training

A new year is also a great opportunity to revisit training goals. Whether you’re perfecting basic commands or teaching advanced tricks, consistent training keeps your dog happy and well-behaved.

Consider finding a new training class near you or tackling a new trick for the New Year.
