Dog Pastry Treats Syracuse NY

1. Drive to a new neighborhood across town for a new walking route – one with different terrain or new scenery. It’s amazing the details you’ll discover while observing on foot, rather than speeding through by car. Pack a picnic lunch, Frisbee, blanket, and dog treats, then head for a park you’ve never visited before with your leashed pooch.

2. Explore a historic district or monument with your ever-willing walking companion. Some chambers of commerce offer free maps for self-guided walking tours on their websites or in brochures. Pretend you’re a tourist in your own town. With your dog by your side, you’ll get to see the sights from a new perspective.

3. Head downtown or to a busy shopping district for some window-shopping. Free dog treats may await your pal at pet-friendly small businesses. If you can, stop at a local dog bakery or pet-supply store for a special treat. Pick up a pastry or meal to go from a place you’ve never tried. Sit on a bench and enjoy the scenery, or stroll the waterfront or central square.

The point is to leave your comfort zone and try something new. Surely there’s a place you’ve been meaning to check out but never have, such as a new dog park in the next town or a great hiking trail a short drive away.
