Excercising with your dog is a great way to keep both of you in shape. My sister, Cheryl, regularly takes her dog on a 1 mile walk. Our dogs aren’t quite as athletic, but we still get out and stroll around the neighborhood with them. After one lap around, my little doxie is usually struggling to keep up, but she tries her best! My sister and I know of a few dog parks in our area, and we’ve taken the dogs there to let them off leash to mix and mingle. It’s a great way for your dog to have some downtime with other dogs. If you’ve got a dog you can let off the leash, you can try the local beach for some frisbee or fetch too.
If you’re a dog lover, dog owner, or just interested in dogs, be sure to check out these Dog Forums. From dog health to dog grooming, dog training to dog pictures, they’ve got it all. The only thing missing is a board about getting your dog in shape! The forum is growing in leaps and bounds and it’s a great place to have conversation with people who love their dogs as much as you love yours. Cat lovers need not apply!
