1. Grab a Snack
The Dining Dog & Friends
3245 Hamilton Blvd., Allentown | 610.351.9333 | thediningdog.com
A special birthday dinner or just the whole-food feast your pet’s diet demands, fine pet cuisine is made from scratch at The Dining Dog, so bring yours along to pick out something scrumptious (from peanut butter banana balls to coconut macaroons). Cats, birds and small animals are also provided for.
2. Work on Your Communication
Let’s Speak Dog
630 Municipal Dr. Suite 320, Nazareth | 3143 William Penn Hwy., Easton | 610.570.8720 | letsspeakdog.com
Bond with your pup through force-free, positive instruction, whether it’s in basic obedience or extracurriculars like scent training, dog parkour or circus tricks. Classes will strengthen your communication and set you up to enjoy hikes or pet-friendly festivals together on your best behavior.
3. Catch a Baseball Game
Dog Days at Coca-Cola Park
1050 IronPigs Way, Allentown | 610.841.7447 | milb.com/lehigh-valley
Your dog doesn’t have to miss out on a summer night at the ballpark. Bring your furry friend to an IronPigs game on special dates throughout the season, including June 12.
4. Go Shopping
The Promenade Shops
2845 Center Valley Pkwy., Center Valley | 610.791.9707 | thepromenadeshopsatsauconvalley.com
“Dogs Welcome” stickers on a huge number of the shops at the Promenade invite your four-legged friends to tag along as you shop and stroll, so your well-behaved pup can have an outing, too.
5. See a Pup Parade
Paw Prints on the Canal
1525 Canal St., Northampton | 610.440.0079 | pawprintsonthecanalevent.com
On June 2, this event benefits Northampton’s K9 unit with a rescue parade, sharp-dressed pet and talent contests, vendors and more. Civilian dogs are welcome to come support their counterparts in uniform.
