Pant & Wag: DC Dog Adventures and DC Dog Fitness

PAW takes dogs on fun Fitness Adventures-Dog hiking, dog running & more @ dogcentric locales each day

Why restrict your dog to DC dog daycare where he will spend most of his time indoors, on cement floors, with no place to go to the bathroom, and over crowded with dozens and dozens of strange dogs? Why limit your dog to boring Georgetown dog walkers who take your dog on the same uninteresting walk around the block day after day? Pant & Wag will take your furry family member outside into nature, to

the most dog-pleasing locations in the DC metro area and deliver a fun and customized Fitness Adventure which may include exciting activities such as hiking through Rock Creek Park, biking across the National Arboretum, jogging around Teddy Roosevelt Island, off-leash time in an enclosed dog park, 'pawlates' exercises using a balance ball, and much more. Most dogs need a minimum of 60 minutes of vigorous aerobic exercise per day, and many need at least double that amount. Leisurely dog walks around the neighborhood rarely accomplish this goal. Chances are your dog is a much better athlete than you are, so if you're not physically exhausted at the end of your walks, then your dog hasn't been aerobically worked enough. Pant & Wag uses cross-training methods of exercise customized to your dog's breed, age, health, and goals. Your dog's snout size, chest size, gait, weight, and temperament will all be factored into his personalized Fitness Adventure workout plan. With our experience and innovative tools we are able to constantly keep your furry friend physically and mentally challenged so he can achieve the optimal levels of health and happiness.

Gracie and friends take a break during their Pant & Wag adventure into the deep woods. Being able to explore real nature is a must for city-dogs because it provides:

🐶 Physical Benefits: Opportunities for trail runs, hikes, and swims, offering a more varied and challenging workout than city walks.

🐶 Sensory Stimulation: Different terrains, scents, and sounds engage a dog's senses in ways that urban environments cannot.

🐶 Stress Reduction: Nature has a calming effect, helping dogs relax and de-stress.

07/21/2024

Hey pup pals, it's Cliff here, and let me tell you, my tail wags don't get much happier than when it's time for a Pant & Wag hike!

These awesome pawsome people take me and a whole pack of doggos on epic adventures throughout the week. We sniff out new trails, chase squirrels (don't worry, they always get away!), and make tons of furry friends along the way.

The best part? My humans get to relax knowing I'm safe, having a blast, and getting the exercise I need to be a happy, healthy pup.

Lola and Barkley take a break in the shade during their hike with Pant & Wag. We never over-exert or underwhelm your dog during our doggy adventures. We match dogs based on age, temperament, and athleticism and pay close attention to the weather, terrain, and most importantly, the dogs themselves to ensure tha everyone has a tail-wagging good time!

07/16/2024

Hi! We're Lola, Moose, and Ruby, and we're here to tell you... exploring new places is PAWsome! ✨

Sniffing out new smells, chasing squirrels in different parks, and maybe even catching a glimpse of a beach (a pup can dream!) ️

Don't keep your fur-iends stuck at home! Take them on adventures, they'll love you fur-ever! ❤️

Hint: nobody takes dogs to more places than Pant & Wag. It's a different field trip for dogs five days per week!

07/11/2024

A PSA from Tillie the goldendoodle:

**Paws off the pavement! ‍Give me a trail any day! **

Sure, city walks are okay, but hikes in the woods? Now that's the good stuff! Here's why this dood prefers the dirt:

**Sniffari time! ** So many amazing smells on the trails, way more exciting than fire hydrants and lamp posts.
**Forest Exploration! ** Wide open spaces to run and explore, no traffic lights to slow me down!
** Cool pup, cool paws! ❄️ Trees provide shade, and the ground's softer on my fluffy feet. Plus, there might be a stream for a refreshing splash!
**Adventure buddy bonding! ** Hiking with my doggo friends is the best! We all get exercise and fresh air.

City walks are fine, but for a real tail-wagger, hit the trails!

07/09/2024

Woofin' hot out there! ☀️ While I love chasing squirrels as much as the next pup, it's important to stay safe in this heat.

Here are some tips from Koa, the coolest doggo around :

- Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Carry water on walks and let me take frequent sips.
- Early bird gets the zoomies! Exercise in the morning or evening when it's cooler.
- Shade is my bestie! Stick to shady paths or bring an umbrella for walks. ⛱️
- Ditch the hot pavement! Asphalt can burn paws. Try grassy areas or cooling booties.
- Take it easy! Shorter walks with breaks are better than long ones in the heat.

Let's all have a safe and fun summer!

Maddie the Norwich terrier: "Do my ears looks big?"

07/02/2024

Ahoy, mateys! It's Little Bear, your friendly neighborhood Portuguese Water Dog here. Sun's out, tongues out, but gotta stay safe out there! Heat stroke ain't no joke. 🆘 Keep an eye on your pup for heavy panting, glazed eyes, or bright red gums. If they seem off, act fast! Water, shade, and get to the vet!

06/30/2024

Shade alert! ☀️ Poppy here, reminding you that fur-ever friends deserve cool adventures too! Ditch the hot pavement, peeps. The woods are calling! Plenty of shade from the trees, fresh air for pantin', and maybe even a cool stream to dip your paws in! (P.S. Don't forget the water bowl!)

06/27/2024

Paws up, everyone, it's Cinder here! This sunshine is pawsome, but remember, running in this heat can be ruff. Let's walk it out in the shade instead, stay on natural surfaces like dirt and grass (my favorite!), and save the zoomies for cooler times. Hydration is key too!

06/25/2024

Keeley the Aussie Shepherd: Woof! It's a scorcher out there today! Gotta stay hydrated and find some shade. Those floppy ears of yours ain't gonna do much cooling, Goose.

Goose the Golden Retriever: Says the dog who needs a whole snowdrift to be comfortable. This shade is paw-fect!

06/18/2024

Coco the American Labrador and Bailey English Labrador are bragging about their retrieving skills -

Coco boasts, "I can fetch a tennis ball from a mile away! I sprinted through the forest, swam across the creek, and brought it right back!"

Bailey sniffs and replies, "Fancy that. I fetched a biscuit from the kitchen counter this morning. Quite a daring feat, dodging those ankles, I must say."

06/16/2024

Barkley the Country Retriever is ruffin' it on a field trip to Teddy Roosevelt Island! While he doesn't really care about our 26th president, he does enjoy the fresh air and sunshine while soaking up the Georgetown views from across the river.

06/13/2024

Oliver is out and about on his Fitness Adventure today! Look at him enjoying the fresh air and sunshine. ☀️ Oliver's proving that doodles can conquer the outdoors - one wagging tail at a time!

06/04/2024

Sadie, the Swedish vallhund and Rose, the border terrier, find some nice cool shade to relax in during their Pant & Wag Fitness Adventure. Remember- heat is as deadly for dogs as poison. Never over-exert your furry friends!

Today we came across a very rare and very large Raven! This badass bird was so confident it just stood in the middle of the trail as our pack of big dogs slowly approached. Beatrix the bloodhound took the lead position to keep everyone safe and eventually the raven relented and flew away. Pant & Wag takes dogs out into nature so they can experience real wildlife! #raven #bloodhound #dogsofgeorgetown #georgetowndogs #pantandwag #dcdogs #dcwildlife #dogadventures
