Engaging the dogs I watch in a variety of fun activities to keep them entertained and active. The activities I choose are tailored to each dog's preferences, energy levels, and physical abilities. Here are some examples: Short walks around the Seaport: This is a great option for dogs who enjoy leisurely strolls and taking in the sights and sounds of a bustling urban environment. The Seaport offers a pleasant atmosphere for both dogs and their walkers. Long runs along the Hudson River: For dogs with high energy levels, a long run along the scenic Hudson River is the perfect way to burn off some energy while enjoying the beautiful views. The waterfront pathways are ideal for uninterrupted exercise and provide ample space for dogs to explore. Central Park adventures: Central Park is a dog paradise with its vast green spaces, diverse terrains, and exciting trails. Whether it's a brisk walk or a more vigorous run, I love taking dogs to Central Park to explore the various landscapes and interact with other furry friends in designated off-leash areas during permitted hours. Playtime and fetch: Depending on the dog's interests, I enjoy engaging them in playtime with their favorite toys, playing fetch, or even teaching them new tricks to stimulate their minds and keep them entertained. By offering a range of activities and visiting special places, I ensure that each dog has an enjoyable and memorable experience tailored to their unique needs and preferences.
