This Father’s Day, it’s not just about ties, tools, or a new grill—it’s about celebrating the unconditional love and loyalty from your best four-legged friend. Whether you’re a proud dog dad or shopping for one, there’s no better time to create lasting memories with your pup.
At DogTuff.com, we know that the best gifts aren’t things - they’re shared moments. So we’ve put together a list of bonding activities that are perfect for Father’s Day and beyond.
7 Memory-Making Activities for Dog Dads & Their Pups
1. Go on a Trail Adventure
Get outdoors and explore a dog-friendly hiking trail. It’s a great way for both of you to burn off energy and enjoy nature. Don’t forget to pack water, snacks, and your pup’s favorite tough toy for a post-hike reward!
2. Have a Backyard BBQ (Dog-Friendly, Of Course!)
Fire up the grill and include dog-safe treats like grilled sweet potatoes, apple slices, or frozen peanut butter bites. Add a splash of fun with a backyard squeaky toy session.

3. Take a Mini Road Trip
Whether it’s a drive to the lake or a quick beach run, your dog will love the wind-in-the-fur experience. Bring along a dog travel bag packed with essentials like water, toys, and their favorite chews.

4. Schedule a “Dog & Dad” Photo Shoot
