A few weeks ago we took Forest on a trip to the Colorado River. We think it’s really important to bring your mal out and about, by doing so they’re getting some exercise, getting used to new things, and having a lot of fun.

Forest has always been a really adventurous pup, because we always take her on hikes she gets to really enjoy herself. She especially loved the trip to the Colorado River, malamutes although they’re known for being lazy love to go play outside, go on hikes, and trips with their families. Taking your dogs out and about is an important part of being a mal owner.
Taking your mal out often has other advantages like the fact that they are able to get used to different places and people. Mals protective nature makes them homebodies usually, but if you take them out often and expose them to new places and people they will be less like that.
Malamutes love to explore, and they make great hiking partners so next time you go on a hike don’t forget to bring your furry friend!!
