 <\/p>\n

Go pumpkin or apple picking.\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is a great way to work on the \u201cleave -it\u201d command to keep your dog from trying to sample any fallen apples or exploded pumpkins on the ground.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Take in a nature walk.\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dress up together for Halloween.<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Be sure to not force any costume pieces on your dog that may make him uncomfortable or scared. This is a great opportunity to work on door manners.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Enjoy a hayride or corn maze.\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

What a fun bonding experience together to search for your way out!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rake a big pile of leaves and play in it together.\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hide a favorite toy or some food and have your dog sniff it out. It will be great fun for both of you! Be sure to <\/span>check for ticks<\/span><\/a> after!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Enjoy some relaxation by a campfire.\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Make sure not to let your dog get too close. This is a great way to work on \u201cplace\u201d or \u201cstay\u201d commands to keep your dog back from the fire.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Find a Halloween or turkey 5K to run with your dog.\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Everyone gets some exercise with this fun activity!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

** Make sure to check with the event organizer and any rules and regulations regarding dogs or pets when making plans for any of these activities**<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Whatever activity you decide to do with your dog, it\u2019s important to remember that he doesn\u2019t care what it is. He just enjoys spending quality time with you. Doing more activities with your pup means a greater bond between the two of you. If your dog is dog or people reactive, doesn\u2019t do well in crowds and you feel like you’re missing out – call us for training!<\/span><\/p>\n
