Exercise is good for both you and your dog. Plus, in addition to making you both fit, exercising with your dog can increase your bond too! What have you and your best pal done this month? Gear up for spring by:
- Playing a game of fetch (But don't just stand still and let your dog do all of the work! As your dog is running to fetch, quickly move to a new area so you get the exercise benefit and it keeps him guessing!).
- Taking a walk (Ahh...the smell of spring...).
- Visiting your neighbors (Bring by some healthy treats for the two-legged and the four-legged variety.).
- Building a fort (This will certainly get you into some strange positions - a great opportunity for stretching and flexing muscles neither of you have likely used in a while!).
- Flying a kite (Again, don't just stand still...).
- Playing a game of hide and seek (Fun for you and fun for him!).
- Going to the dog park (Work in some training for both you and your pup by requiring your dog to "sit, stay" while you stop and do some jumping jacks, push ups or other exercises to get your heart moving.).
Have fun and get fit together - what could be better for you both?
