Dog care through Fun exercises

Just like you and me, a dog also needs regular exercises.  But the problem is, dogs don’t tend to do it on their own unless you push them to, since a dog brain doesn’t have enough processing power to understand that it’s good for it.

Whether you own a boxer or a shepherd, it’s up to you to start making your dog exercise. Exercising is a very valuable part of dog care, not only does it keep a dog in shape, it also keeps it away from common diseases.
As hard it may sound, exercising your dog is not a hard thing. In fact, it’s fun and also very good for your own health. Exercising your dog means exercising yourself, which keeps both you and your dog healthy. But to make it a fun for both of you, a suitable and enjoyable routine and session is a must. For instance, you can start off combining walking, running and fetching games for a 30 minutes as a base routine and then make changes to it according to your dog’s interest and stamina. Some dogs are very active and some dogs are not so active, for the later, splitting up the 30 minute session with two 15-minute session is a very good idea, you can start by walking and light running in the first session and then move onto intense running and fetching in the second session.
Observe your dog, don’t just keep pushing it to do what you like to do, let it be for a while and see which out of those exercises interests it the most. Some dogs don’t like to take long walks. For example, Labrador Retrievers and Poodles really like long walks while hounds are fond of low key walks.
Games are also part of dog exercises, don’t just walk and run with your dog, if exercising gets to your dog’s nerve, give it a rest and spend a day with it playing hide and seek, tug of war. Dogs are naturally fond of finding and holding on to to things, including them in the routine means its more fun to both of you.
It’s also very important that you make your dog work out at least 4 days a week, exercising for 2 hours only on the weekend doesn’t mean that your dog will be healthy. And don’t just start exercising your dog out of the blue, if your loving dog doesn’t have any exercising experience at all, start with a 10 to 15 minute light walks and running and then add more activities as days goes by.  Don’t just make it work out just because you wanted to start running again, both of you should have the same ruling power when it comes to exercising.
