Join us at Namaqua Park again this year - such a success in 2021 we are going to repeat at this location. Enjoy lots of green grass and shade as we explore, try out and learn about ways to support and recreate with our furry friends. Bring your well-behaved leashed dog and learn about places to hike and enjoy the outdoors with your 4-legged friend. Talk with trainers about growing with your dog, understanding each other, and what helps make adventuring together even more fun for both of you. Other providers of canine comforts will include local veterinarians, groomers, and food and treat suppliers. Open Lands and Trails will have free dog-themed swag for registered participants and our Trails and Tails booklet for dog-friendly hiking options. Activities to try will include agility obstacles, rally and canine parkour. What is canine parkour? Some call it "Urban" Agility - using obstacles along your everyday walks in places like parks and natural areas. There will also be a Find-the-Dogs scavenger hunt and a photo op area for you and your furry pals. Loveland Police K9 Officers will present an impressive canine demo. Food will be available from Cliantro and Lime food truck and deserts will be available from B-Sweet Cupcakes (and they have Pupcakes too!) Thank you to all those dog owners who use our natural areas respectfully, thank you for the poop pick up, using leashes, and your support. Help us spread the word - invite some friends to join you at our Dog Day of Summer. Free, drop-in event. Registration appreciated (for doggy Open Lands and Trails swag). Loveland Police K9 Officer dog demonstration about 7pm.

This is my 10th year volunteering with open lands and trails with Michele.
Since my birth long ago in 1950, I have had an immense interest in the natural world. It has been my good fortune to have gone on many hikes, rafting and canoe trips, and field trips (both in the US and internationally) with study of geology, botany, zoology, and ecology. My undergraduate training was in biology. My life has included living overseas (Turkey and the UK) for 6 years. Also I am a medical doctor. The outside world had been a immense source of wonder to me.
