Dog Exercise & Play

Originally bred for hunting, Golden Retrievers are intelligent dogs with relatively high energy and social needs. They’re not usually the best fit for people looking for a low-engagement or low-maintenance pet. Golden Retrievers tend to thrive in households that can offer daily interaction, regular activity, and ongoing training. When their physical, mental, and social needs are met, they often become affectionate, adaptable companions that enjoy being part of everyday family life.

Dogs love exploring the great outdoors. To them, a hike will seem like the ultimate dog walk. Here are 5 tips to ensure you have a safe experience hiking with your dog.

Just like you get fitted for that perfect pair of running shoes, your dog needs to be fitted with a harness. With so many options to choose from, you want to make sure you’re choosing a dog harness that is safe and comfortable. Learn about some of the most popular types of dog harnesses and how to measure your dog for a harness.

When it comes to giving your four-legged friend the best day out, nothing beats a dog-friendly beach. Sydney is home to some stunning spots where your pup can run free, splash in the waves, and dig to their heart’s content (just make sure you dry them off afterwards, so your car and living room don’t suffer…)

A day at the beach with your dog is the ultimate adventure — crashing waves, salty breezes, and endless room to zoom. But keeping your pup safe and happy during a dog beach outing takes a little preparation – you’ll want to make sure you head to the surf with your best wits about you.

Many people – and their dogs! – love to get out and have fun in the summer sun, but with the high temperatures of Australia, sometimes it is too hot to walk your dog. Care needs to be taken to make summer fun and safe for our furry friends.
