#1. Volunteer Together
There are so many different ways that you and your dog can team up and spread some positivity in the world while taking the edge off your dog’s energy levels.
Is your dog a social butterfly? Try volunteering in hospitals or nursing homes, where your dog can interact with many different kinds of people. Is your dog happy to hang out with friends? Enroll her as a reading therapy dog, which helps children improve their reading and speaking skills while your dog acts as an impartial listener. Engaging with new people in a volunteer situation transforms dogs because it’s almost as if they understand that they’re helping. Plus, these feel-good vibes apply to you as well – both you and your dog will be fulfilled through volunteering!
