10 Ways To Celebrate National Dog Day With Your Dog

1. Walk With Your Dog
Plan fun outdoor activities with your dog. Visit a new park and go for a walk. Dogs are curious adventurers, so going on a nature walk or hike is an awesome way to let them explore.

Both KORU BEAR and KENZO enjoyed their nature walk when we visited the dog-friendly Santa Barbara Botanic Garden.

2. Play With Your Dog
Playing with your dog is the most fulfilling activity you can do for your dog. Since dogs are social animals, it’s been proven that playing with your dog or taking part in dog games will not only satisfy their craving for companionship but it will definitely strengthen your bond.

Fetch is KORU BEAR and KENZO’s favorite game to play. An active way for us to have fun together. Fetch also fosters a healthy bond between us, and it helps with their mental well-being too.

3. Take Your Dog For A Swim
Let your dog have some fun and frolic in the water. Swimming is a low-impact great exercise for your dog.

Does your dog love to swim? Both KORU BEAR and KENZO love to swim. They are lucky that we can take them swimming at the beach and pool. Their swim day is always the highlight of their weekend.

4. Pamper Your Dog

10. Support and Help Homeless Pets
The main mission of celebrating National Dog Day is to recognize and help dogs that are in need of their forever home.

“Dogs should not have to lose their lives because of the atrocities they have been forced to endure at the hands of man.” – Colleen Paige, founder of National Dog Day.

Why Do Dogs Love To Play Fetch?


If you have a pet dog breed like a Golden Retriever, you have most likely played fetch with him or her. Whether you are throwing a soft toy, a stick, or a ball, dogs love running after objects and returning them in their mouths.

Playing fetch is a universal activity enjoyed by all breeds of dogs around the world. What is it about the game of fetch that makes it so irresistible to our canine friends? Why exactly do dogs love to play fetch? Here are three reasons:

Why Do Dogs Love To Play Fetch - Make Fetch Happen with Chuckit!

3 Reasons: Why Do Dogs Love To Play Fetch?

1. It’s In Their Instinct
One of the reasons that dogs love to play fetch is that it is embedded in their very nature to do so. This can be traced back to the historical reason that dogs were bred for hunting. In the past, dogs were used to help people hunt for food, meaning that their ability to fetch food or animals in their mouths was highly prized.

Because dogs were selectively bred, people chose to keep dogs that had the ability to fetch. Eventually, over a long period of time, fetching became part of a dog’s instinct.

Today, most dogs seem to enjoy playing fetch, without being specifically trained to do so. The reason for this is that this habit has been ingrained in them over centuries of selective breeding.

2. Loves Physical Activity
Dogs love to get physical activity – it is why dogs love it when you take them for a walk at the park or let them off leash and run. Adding a fetch play to your dog’s activity is an awesome outlet for their pent up energy.

When dogs chase after a fetch toy and return it to you, they are getting much-needed exercise. It allows them to get their heart rate up and run around. This is why playing fetch is so enjoyable for dogs.

3. Creates A Human Animal Bond
Another reason why dogs love to play fetch is that it is quality time spent with you, their owner. We all know that dogs love to receive and give physical affection; we love it when they greet us when we get back from work.

Playing fetch is a way for the dog to participate in an activity with your direct involvement. Think about it – there are not many activities quite like playing fetch that allows you to create a unique bond with your dog. Playing fetch requires you to initiate and for the dog to respond. The longer you play fetch with your dog, the more time it gets to spend with you.

Playing fetch is one of the most recognizable activities that you can carry out with your dog, and it just doesn’t work the same with other pets (such as cats). Why do dogs love to play fetch? It is because it’s in their instinct (due to selective breeding), it allows them to release physical energy, and it creates a bond between you and your dog.
