A while ago, my mom and I took our dog Chinook to a park, and he took to it better than expected.
Our dog, sad to say, is a bit of a coward. He fears fireworks and thunderstorms and even our freezer. He runs away from strangers when they approach him, though he'll bark at them all day if he's safely inside and they're ringing our doorbell outside. He doesn't usually care for new environments.
However, the park we took him to was apparently different. The park was mainly a water park, but it also had a dog park and some trails for walking or biking.We stopped by the dog park first.
It was a hot day, and there were only three other dogs there. Chinook sniffed each one, but none of them (Chinook included) were interested in playing because of the heat.
So Mom and I eventually decided to take Chinook out of the dog park and go on a walk. Chinook didn't like any of the bridges, but otherwise he seemed to enjoy the trip.
When we got back to our vehicle, Chinook didn't want to get inside. He didn't want to leave!
So, yes, that day was a fun experience.
Even if it lasted only about an hour due to the heat. ^^'
