Adventure Dogs

Ever wonder what a dog really wants to do for fun? What would make their "bucket list" of must-see and -do adventures?

In Adventure Dogs: The Dog-Approved Guide to Having Fun (with Humans), author Lauren Watt consults dog experts and lovers worldwide and her own research to answer just that—and shares her advice for living life to the fullest with your four-legged best friend.

This inspirational and practical guidebook features 75 unique dog-approved adventures and activities, offering new opportunities to explore the world around you with your pup. Captured in vibrant, full-color photography, activities range from easy to epic—from taking a scenic car ride, to climbing one of the highest dog-friendly mountains in the US, to learning "doga" or "dog painting" in the comfort of your own backyard.

Adventure Dogs has something for every breed and every type of dog parent. Watt, who frequently goes on travels with her rescue dog, Bette, has done extensive research on each activity, consulting renowned dog experts, scientists, and behaviorists for tips, tricks, and helpful advice to guide you on your own adventures, big and small.
