I resolve to move my mutt...and move my butt!


Why not resolve to get yourself and your pet moving in 2014. You can track your activities on PetsMove.org and update your dog’s weight at least once a month so you can keep track of your progress throughout the year.

K9 Kamp - Let's Play Frisbee

Last week I talked about playing chase with your dog. It's just the kind of simple, spontaneous, fun fitness activity that we're stressing this month in K9 Kamp- Fun and Games. Here's another simple activity you can do with your dog--step out for a game of Frisbee! (Or, if you're like me, you can play it inside as well!)



(Aerobie sent us a Dogobie flying disc to review, and one to give away as well. So read on and enter the Rafflecopter below for your chance to win. Good luck!)
 













I admit, I throw like a girl. In general, the disc doesn't always go where I aim. But, I have to say, the Dogobie was super easy to throw. Which surprised me because it was very lightweight and flexible. But it wasn't so floppy that it was awkward to handle.

















































































The packaging states that the disc makes "long accurate flights" and is from the maker of the Guinness World Record setting Aerobie flying rings and discs! I couldn't test this out, because my back yard is small, but I'm sure when we get the chance to take the Dogobie to an open field, we'll be able to see for ourselves.

It's also durable, resistant to tears and punctures, yet soft and gentle on Kelly and Ike's mouths and teeth. Ike enjoyed chewing on it, although I had to stop him because the packaging also suggested keeping your dog from chewing on it will enable it to last longer. oops!








































We're all about fitness activities that you can do together with your dog, and the Dogobie flying disc fits the bill perfectly. It's soft, durable, and fun!


Enter below for your chance to win. And if you don't win one here, you might win one on our K9 Kamp Rafflecopter, so check that out too!

Full Disclosure: I received one Dogobie  to review and one to giveaway from Aerobie. This in no way influenced my review. The opinions here are 100% my own.

Yippee! Time for K9 Kamp again!

Last spring at K9 Kamp, a fantastic group of bloggers and blog readers committed to getting fit and having fun together with their dogs! Our theme was to get active with your dog, 30 minutes extra, 3 or 4 times a week. If you joined us, remember all the fun we had?!





















This fall, our theme is "Fitness Fun and Games." We're focusing on fun ways for you to get active with your dog. Here are some ideas:

Frisbee
fetch (and the all time K9 Kamp favorite, Fetch It Yourself!)
tug
chase
hide and seek
monkey in the middle
follow the leader















treibball (or a similar game with an exercise ball in your own yard)
Agility
Flyball
and more!
















We're looking forward to experiencing some new games with Kelly and Ike. This will be Ike's first K9 Kampl! I've always wanted to try some sort of agility in the yard with Kelly because she loves to jump (at 11 years old!). And Ike would be awesome at follow the leader since he likes to follow me everywhere anyway. What fun and games would you like to try with your dog? Please join along with K9 Kamp. Join the hop and tell us what you and your dog are going to do to get fit and have fun together!

Don't forget the prizes! Enter our rafflecopter to win great prizes including a leash and collar, a great bracelet from For the Love of a Dog, Dogobie flying discs, and an Amazon gift card.

* Have you been using your Slimdoggy app? It's a great companion to K9Kamp. You can track your dog's daily activities and calories burned, as well as how many calories they're eating. One cool tool is the GPS tracking. You can click, take a walk, and the app automatically tracks how far you've gone and how many calories you've burned your walk. No need to do any head-numbing calculating yourself. The app's food list is also impressive. Click on your dog's food and you'll see how it ranks from 1(low) to 10 (high) pawprints, how many calories per cup, and the list of ingredients. Our dog food, Innova Senior Plus ranked 9.9 pawprints! yay!




















There's also a Slimdoggy widget available for your website! We have ours here.
