Ready to shake off spring and move into summer with your best bud? June brings long days and sunny skies — the perfect excuse to get outside and get moving. Whether you're a fitness fanatic, need to get the kids off their screens, or just want to enjoy more time outdoors, these trending dog-and-human workouts are fun, fresh, and sure to tire out even the most energetic pup. For inspiration here is one we did to ring in the new year.
Dog-Friendly 30-Day Walk Streaks
This summer, social media is buzzing with walking streak challenges — and it’s not just for humans!
Try it: Walk with your dog every day in June, even if it’s just 10 minutes. Bonus points if you snap a selfie and track your miles.
Doga (Dog Yoga) in the Park
Stretch it out, slow it down, and bond with your dog or puppy!
Tip: Gentle yoga moves like child’s pose, seated twists, and deep breathing can help relax you — while your pup enjoys the vibe (or climbs on you for fun). How to find the best Yoga near you.
Couch-to-5K – But With a Tail
Training for your first 5K? Bring your dog along!
Pro Tip: Start with short, slow jogs and work up to longer distances. Always check if your dog’s breed and age are a good match for running.
Doggy Circuits in the Backyard
Who needs a gym? Create a DIY obstacle course with tunnels, cones, and jumps.
Challenge idea: Time your dog doing the course and try to beat their "personal best" each week.
Cooling Down — the Smart Way
Fitness is great, but safety comes first.
Stay safe:
- Walk early or late to avoid hot pavement
- Use cooling vests or bandanas
- Bring water for both of you
- Know the signs of heat exhaustion in dogs
Bonus Trend: Matching Fitness Gear
Yes, it's a thing. Think hydration packs, cooling collars, or reflective vests — all in matching colors. Because nothing says “dog parent goals” like coordinated summer style.
Let’s Move, Together
Summer isn’t just about activity — it’s about bonding. Whether you're walking a local trail, mastering doga, or just playing in the backyard, these trending fitness ideas are a great way to make the most of June with your pup.
