Experience Days with Dogs - Sheepdog experience days, husky sledding, pet grooming & pet photoshoot

Experience days are a great way to get closer to animals we love & want to find out more about, and giving an animal lover a gift experience day can really give them something to look forward & a great day out. Among the many animal gift experiences, there are now a number which concentrate on man's best friend - the dog. So here's a round up of experience days with dogs.

	The National Trust has many dog friendly places Did you know that the National Trust cares for 700 miles of stunning coastline and 600,000 acres of beautiful countryside? And that many of the places they care for are dog friendly? Not all of them, obviously, but nonetheless that gives you plenty of scope for new walkies with your woof. Some National Trust places may mean your dog can have a really nice walk instead of having to endure motorway stops so you can all enjoy greater calm and beauty on your journey when you paws for a rest. Take a look anyway at the National Trust's Dog Friendly pages - there's lots of info, so if you think this would be for you or a gift for someone, you could become a member of the National Trust.
	Keep your dog active with dog toys! If you've got a dog who likes to be kept active, take a look at Viovet.co.uk. They've got a range of toys for dogs. Playing with your woof is a great way to build up the relationship between you, to have fun with your dog, and really give them the chance to learn some new skills. We play Hunt the Toy with our dog in the house in the winter, for instance, when the weather is awful - we hide his toy and send him to find it! He loves it!
