Did you know that regular exercise for your canine companion can help combat some behavioral and medical issues? Dog walking gives your dog mental stimulation – they get to smell the world, interact with people, and sometimes see other dogs while they’re out. It may seem mindless to us, but for our dogs, they get to use their brains and be stimulated in ways they aren’t if they are just hanging out at home. It’s also a great way to expend excess energy, which can reduce inappropriate behaviors like chewing and whining.
Just like in humans, regular exercise obviously helps keep your dog fit. It can help combat becoming overweight and developing diabetes. Regular walking also helps to build muscle and as your dog ages, it’s joints weaken. Having strong muscles helps take some of the responsibility off the joints which will help your pup get around easier in the long haul.
We want to help keep your dog happy and healthy! So, here goes!
