I recently checked out the park with my 3-year-old beagle, Ellie. She happens to have a never ending amount of energy so when given a large space to run around at and play, she doesn't waste a moment of it. After running a few starting laps around the perimeter of the fenced in dog park, she was ready to meet and greet the other dogs.

If you've never been to Ruff Range or another dog park, I'll give you the run down. Dog parks consist of gated in land where owners can come and let their dogs off leash to romp and run around with other dogs. Great for socializing your dog! Socializing your dog helps them develop the confidence and ease that goes a long way in helping them become resilient in the face of unsettling situations. And bringing them to the dog park just lets them burn off some energy too (good for you and them).

Ellie and I will definitely be back on a regular basis to visit the Ruff Range dog park! For that time in between visits, here are some other suggestions for things to do with your four legged friend:
- Go to PetSmart! This pet friendly store let's you take in your dog and shop with them. My dog just loves to pick out her own toys here. Not to mention, this is a great one stop shop. They have a vet (Banfield), a boarding / lodging area, and a professional grooming shop.
- Hit up a patio! Whether its your patio or one of these local pet friendly restaurant patios, being outside with your pup is always a good time.
- Go for a walk! Anywhere in Frisco. Just leash up your dog and hit the trails (or pavement that is).
Where do you like to take your dog in Frisco? Send me a note - I'd love to hear about it and check it out myself!
