In this section of thewoofbook.co.uk we aim to help all UK dog owners enjoy life to the max with their four legged friend. There is an old saying 'A tired dog is a happy dog' and this is true for most dogs. Life is short and it is important for both owners and dogs alike to live a healthy, fruitful and enjoyable life – as well as the obvious health benefits of leading an active lifestyle, most dogs are also better behaved when they are involved in activities to exercise and stimulate their minds and bodies. Staying active together also helps cement the human-canine bond.

Every week, throughout the UK, there are dog owners just like you, taking part in all sorts of enjoyable and fascinating activities with their dogs. This section of thewoofbook.co.uk will introduce you to some great new pastimes for you and your dog to share that you may not have thought of before, as well as helping you with more conventional activities for you and your dog, such as walking, with suggestions for places to walk your dog not far from you. It's A Dog's Life will also give you suggestions for great days out in the UK that you can share with your dog. Not all tourist attractions, venues and events allow dogs access and because we don't want to see the number of establishments that DO accept dogs reduce, we would recommend that all dog owners become responsible dog owners. When you go out with your dog please ensure that your behaviour is responsible and that you do not become part of the problem, but a part of the solution. Taking time to teach your dog new things can also enrich their lives and not only make life more enjoyable, but your dog will also gain much needed mental stimulation from various sorts of training. If you aren't sure how to do this, do not worry, try enrolling in dog classes together or perhaps seek the guidance of dog training professionals who will be only too happy to help you. Even after your dog has mastered the basics, regular lessons will keep your dog mentally sharp.

COMING SOON – Not only are we adding new walks and days out on a daily basis, making thewoofbook.co.uk the definitive guide to living life to the full with your dog in the UK, we will also be launching a HOLIDAY WITH YOUR DOG GUIDE, detailing dog friendly accommodation, so watch this space...
