Spring Into Action! The Best Ways to Get You and Your Pup Moving This Season

Fresh ideas to get you and your dog off the couch and moving

Make a splash. Take your Dock Diving game to a whole new level with a home pool — or launch your very own Dock Diving club! Simple to set up and maintain, Splash SuperPools have become the go-to soft-sided above-ground pool for Dock Diving, plus canine therapy and rehab. (from $2,999, splashpools.com)

2: Hit the bike trails with your dog.

Cycling is the perfect outlet for high-energy dogs that live to run. Ride safely alongside your pup with the Bike Tow Leash, which keeps your dog from tipping or steering the bike — so you can both enjoy a smooth, fun spin with your four-legged best friend. This clever attachment also works on trikes, mobility scooters, and wheelchairs. (from $183, biketowleash.com)

Gear up for hikes, walks, and every kind of canine adventure with the rugged, versatile Traveler Harness from BZ Dog Gear. Built from tough nylon, this comfy, well-thought-out harness features zippered pockets, two grab handles, and a padded, breathable underside. A customizable leather name badge puts the perfect finishing touch on it. ($55, bzdoggear.com)
