Baseball is arguably the most popular spring sport in the United States and dogs are undoubtedly the most popular pet. So, why not combine the two for the perfect spring day?

These special games offer an excellent opportunity to provide your dog with positive socialization, while giving your furry friend a chance to test out their obedience training behavioral skills. Here’s a list of 2024 dog-friendly baseball games that you and your pup can attend together this spring!  


3. Puppy Picnic in the Park
After spending the winter indoors, it’s time for your pup to get as much fresh air, exercise, and mental stimulation as they can get. Creating a special puppy picnic for your canine companion will allow them to explore new environments, play with other dogs, and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. Some puppy picnic essentials that you should pack are a picnic blanket, water and a bowl, a leash, waste bags, toys to keep your pup entertained, and your dog’s favorite Crumps’ Naturals treats to reward good behavior.   


4. Beachside Swims and Digging Delights
If your dog loves digging in the sand and swimming in the water, then a trip to a dog-friendly beach might be the perfect springtime pick-me-up for your best boy or girl. Don’t live near a beach?

If you and your dog like to stay indoors and hibernate as much as possible in the winter, then springtime should be all about getting back outdoors and enjoying nature at its finest. The delightful scents and vibrant views that you and your dog will experience on a springtime hike will give you and your dog a refreshing boost of energy and joy! Plus, hiking can help dogs reduce destructive behaviors or depression associated with boredom.

Do you remember how much fun you had searching for Easter eggs in your backyard when you were a kid?

All you need to do is hide some Easter eggs filled with dog treats and toys around your backyard and then let your favorite detective go to work!   


8. Frisbee Fling Fun
Athletic dogs love showing off their prowess by playing games like frisbee or fetch. To be marveled by your dog’s agility and speed, go play frisbee together this spring. Then watch in amazement as your dog runs and leaps into the air to catch the flying disc. Playing frisbee, or fetch, with your dog is an excellent way to keep your dog fit, healthy, and happy! Or your dog might want to do his or her own thing with the frisbee like this adorable pup did in this viral TikTok video. Talk about creativity!  


9. Springtime Agility Course
Do you have a high-energy, athletic dog that has been yearning to get outside and play all winter long? Springtime agility training might be the perfect activity for your good girl or boy. Before you sign your dog up for an agility trial, which is a competitive canine sporting event, create a DIY springtime agility course to see if agility training is right for you and your dog. You can use this Get Started in Dog Agility Training at Home blog as a practical guide. If you believe your dog is ready for the big time, you can sign your star athlete up for agility classes or private training sessions.  


10. Bubble Bonanza
Playing with bubbles is a great way for your dog to get physical exercise and mental stimulation, while also strengthening the bond with you through quality time together. Plus, spring provides a special opportunity for your dog to enjoy fresh air, sunshine, and the sights and sounds of the vibrant and rejuvenating season.
