If you’re looking for something to do that involves your four-legged friend; or somehow is based around him, then look no further!
We’ve rounded up some of the most compatible hobbies for dog lovers, and there is something for everyone.
Whether you’re really active and are looking for a new sport to take up with your pooch; or you just want to relax in front of the fire and crochet your adorable puppy.
The US is thought to be home to between 70 and 90 million pet dogs with 580,900 pups being registered in 2018 alone. The number of dogs seems to be going up and up with the number of the world’s favorite animal increasing every year.
There’s no surprise that the number of our four-legged friends is constantly on the up. Dogs are the perfect companion for families, couples, individuals, and help to make our lives easier and safer through their work as service dogs.
When you are in the middle of a hard and stressful workday, there is one thought that never fails to comfort you. You know that when you finally come back home, someone adorable and furry is waiting for you at the door.
There is nothing better than hugging your sweet pup right after you make the first step in your flat. Then you just put on your soft pajamas, flop down in an armchair, switch your favorite TV series on, and cuddle with your dog all evening long. At moments like this, you realize that being a dog mom is the most amazing thing you could ever imagine.
Breed: Chihuahua
Location: Frisco, Texas
Human: Amanda L.
Story: Rocko the Chihuahua might be tiny, but he is a pooch with a mission. After her mom was diagnosed with dementia, Amanda met Rocko – who would become her canine companion and supporter. Every day, Amanda would take Rocko to visit her mother at the Memory Care facility in the hospital. He was so popular with the office staff, everyone loved him!
Hiking is a great way to shake off stress out your system and get yourself a good workout. But when your dog tags along, your outdoor experience gets even better!
Dogs are the perfect hiking partners because they are actually more excited to get out in the woods than you are. They love to climb on boulders, leap over brooks, run up a dirt trail, and gain a new battery of smells and sights. Witnessing your dog’s energy and sheer enjoyment directs you away from the physical exertion involved in hiking. It only motivates you to go farther! Not to mention the breathtaking sceneries you’ll see along the way.
These are actual conversations I have with our 1.5-year-old English Shepherd, Daisy. Note, I am interpreting Daisy’s barks, expressions, and intonation. But these are all true!

Daisy: Hey John!
Me: Hey, Days!
Traveling with your dog is definitely a satisfying thing to do, but it requires some planning beforehand as well as thought through choices of your vacation destinations, ways of travel, etc. While booking a pet-friendly hotel might seem like enough to enjoy your time away with your pooch, it can get quite frustrating to discover that your pup isn’t welcome in most places you’d like to visit.
Take a long, hard look at your dog’s face. Remember it. Now, go out and look your car straight in the grill. Go down on all fours or kneel, it doesn’t matter. Let it register.
Chances are, you’ll see yourself (or a close resemblance, anyway) looking back at you. Coincidence? Not exactly.
Whilst some owners have their puppy names picked out years in advance, some owners have no idea where to start. Is there an art to choosing a name? Is there a science to it even?
Well, there’s a little bit of both.
David Woods from My Pet’s Name suggests choosing a name which is short, snappy and doesn’t sound like a command.
Chihuahua is an exceptional dog breed, even though special has no superlative. This is the smallest breed, yet the one with the most prominent personality. Amusing, loyal, friendly, they could satisfy the needs and desires of every animal lover who’s looking to introduce a new friend into the house.
