5 Ways to Turn Everyday Walks Into Big Adventures
Aug 20, 2025
Switch up your everyday walk routine! With a little creativity (and the right safety checks), your walks can become small adventures you and your pup look forward to all day. Whether you’re staying close looping the block or exploring somewhere new, these tips will help you turn small moments into big memories.
*Sometimes adventures don’t go according to plan, especially in unfamiliar territory! Before you head out, make sure your pet’s ID tag is up to date with your current contact information in case they get startled or start to wander away from you - it’s their ticket home.
Change Up Your Route
A change of environment or even a small detour can make a difference! Explore new streets, neighborhoods, or trails you haven’t tried before to give your dog new scents to sniff and fresh sights to see.
Add a Destination
Walk to a dog-friendly coffee shop, park, or the pet store! Creating an end goal for you and your pup gives you something to look forward to, and it's a fun reward after the exercise for your four-legged friend.
Switch Up the Pace
Try out intervals! Mix in short jogs, games of fetch, or training breaks. For an extra boost, add challenges like stepping over logs, weaving through trees, or splashing in a creek. With all that high-energy play, an adventure-proof ID tag is a must. Make sure your pup’s tag is secure and up-to-date!
Invite Their Pals
Encourage socialization with a group walk! Extra paws means extra exercise, new friends, and (sometimes chaotic) variety to break up the usual routine and tire out your pup.
Extend Your Adventure
Bring a picnic, a book to enjoy in the park, play fetch, or hit a new trail after your usual walk. Don’t forget to pack the essentials: a water bowl, treats, and a toy, since you’ll be out longer.
Tap into your adventure potential with every walk! All you have to do is break the routine. Before you head out, do a tag check to ensure your pup’s ID is good to go. Then, let them roam, sniff, and explore with confidence (and your peace of mind). With an adventure-proof tag, you can wander further and play harder knowing they’ll always find their way back to you.
