Your best friend is always up for an adventure. Why not make 2025 the year you tackle resolutions together? Research shows that when you commit to goals with a partner, you’re more likely to stay consistent.
So, here’s 25 ways to elevate the year for both of you, and plus it up even further with a Fi Series 3:
Try New Activities Together
- Dog Spa Day - Transform an ordinary bath into a spa experience. Start with a warm, calming bath using dog-safe shampoos followed by a massage to relax your dog’s muscles and boost circulation.
- Herding or Scent Work - Tap into your dog’s natural instincts by trying scent work or herding activities. You can purchase scent kits online or hide their favorite treats around the house or yard.
- Dock Diving - If your dog loves water, dock diving is an exhilarating sport to try. Many facilities have beginner classes where your dog can learn to jump off a dock to retrieve a toy from the water. Fi’s waterproof Series 3 collar ensures that even their biggest splashes are tracked.
- Dog-Friendly Hikes - Breathe fresh air and explore new terrain with your dog by your side by finding dog-friendly trails in your area. Track and share your walks on the Fi app for extra motivation while soaking in the scenery.
- Agility Training - Set up a DIY agility course in your backyard or join a local training group to improve your dog’s focus and fitness.
- Dog Yoga Class - Doga—yoga with your dog—is an excellent way to bond while stretching and strengthening. Follow tutorials online or find a local class to relax side by side in downward dog.
- Camping Trip - Unplug and connect with nature on a camping trip. Choose a dog-friendly campsite and pack essentials like a portable bed, leash, and their favorite treats. No matter how far you go, Fi’s GPS and live tracking will give you peace of mind, letting you know your dog’s location even in the wilderness.
- Music Therapy - Create a soothing playlist with music designed for dogs (yes, it’s a thing!) and let it play during quiet evenings. Research shows that music can reduce stress in dogs too, so experiment and see if your dog’s sleep and nap quality improves on the Fi app.
- Volunteer Together - Sign up for a park cleanup or other local event. It’s rewarding to see your dog bringing joy to others, and it’s a great way to meet like-minded dog parents. Use the Fi App to share photos of your volunteer experience and inspire others to get involved.
- New Year, New Tricks - Whether it’s rolling over, fetching the mail, or spinning in circles, learning new tricks strengthens their focus and your bond.
