The Benefits of Exercise!
Daily exercise sesions benefit you and your dog.
Exercise needs vary depending on the breed, age and
individual traits of the dog.
It's a good idea to play catch, Frisbee or other
games, and take your dog for 30-minute walks.
Sufficient exercise helps reduce or eliminate common
behaviors such as digging, excessive barking, chewing and
hyperactivity. Dogs need physical and mental stimulation
each day.
Exercise helps prevent boredom and channels the dog's
energy in a productive, acceptable direction.
Exercise helps keep pets healthy, agile, and
limber.
It reduces the incidence of digestive problems and
constipation.
It helps prevent depression.
It's a good way to help a timid or fearful dog build
confidence and trust.
Exercise promotes healthy rest. A well-exercised dog
will be sleepy instead of restless when it's time to
relax or go to bed.
Exercise is key to weight control.
