Have you ever thought about exercising with your dog? It’s a
great way to help grow the bond between you and your dog and keep you both fit.
Having a furry friend who helps keep you going even on rainy days is a huge
benefit to your health and wellbeing.
But what are the best ways to exercise with your dog?
Obviously running is a good choice. Like with people make
sure you progress your pet slowly and if it’s too hot bring plenty of water for
them to drink or if it’s ridiculously hot skip the run.
Stand up Paddle Boarding. Probably best for smaller breeds.
Be sure to start slowly to let you dog get comfortable on the board.
Regardless, you’ll both likely end up in the water but that’s part of the fun!
Cycling. Once again make sure you’re not dragging your dog
and start slowly until they get the hang of it. Same rules apply as with
running about the heat.
Dog yoga. Okay this is more of a fun one that an actual
fitness one for your dog. But it’s a great way to strengthen your bond and help
check them for lumps during the massage.
If you don’t have a dog, don’t fret! There are many local
dog shelters looking for dog walkers and other volunteers.
