Lake Tahoe Naturally Offers the Best Enrichment for Dogs
Do you have a strong, sporting, or working dog breed? To properly challenge and tire them, enrichment activities might need to be more intense. Luckily, Lake Tahoe provides excellent opportunities for that.
Dog-Powered Sports to Keep Your Dog Happy and Tired
If you enjoy running and your dog has plenty of energy, canicross could be the perfect sport for both of you. You'll need:
- A well-fitted, ergonomic pulling harness with a Y-shaped neck opening to allow free movement and breathing.
- A lightweight, low-fitting hip or canicross belt to prevent back pain for yourself.
- An elastic canicross line or leash to absorb shocks between you and your dog.
If running isn’t your thing, cani-hiking or trekking offers a gentler, low-impact version of canicross ideal for hiking together.
Ultimate Outdoor Adventures with Your Dog
Even if you're not an intense athlete, you can try sports that involve your energetic dog pulling you along for an exciting outdoor experience:
-
Bikejoring: One dog or a team runs and pulls a bicycle while guided by a person. It’s similar to sled dog mushing but on dry land with a bike, also known as “dryland mushing.”
