Dogs are naturally full of energy, they love to exercise, and daily activity not only keeps them physically and mentally active, it’s key to maintaining their health. Are you curious about what other fun exercises can help them get strong and healthy?
Wander in the Park
For dogs that don’t require much activity, accompanying them on a stroll through a lush green park is certainly an excellent choice. A fresh path on each walk will stimulate their curiosity and make the outing even more exciting. Such walks are not only good for their health, but because there are often other dog walkers in the park, they provide dogs with the opportunity to interact and play with their peers, enriching their social life.
Swim in Water
Some dogs are not interested in running around on land, and they are much more in love with the fun of swimming in the water. Swimming not only provides a complete workout for your dog’s muscle groups, but it also helps to strengthen their heart and lungs. What’s more, swimming is a gentle and enjoyable form of exercise for dogs that suffer from joint discomfort.
Enjoy a Treasure Hunt
This exercise can be done both at home and outdoors. The search can be initiated by first letting the dog sniff something and then hiding it. If playing indoors, owners should keep fragile or valuable items properly stowed so that the dog does not accidentally cause damage during the search.
Chase the Flying Ball
In your free time, lead your dog to the neighborhood courtyard or park for ball or discs games in the early morning or at sunset. Throwing a dog’s favored toy such as a Frisbee or tennis ball and commanding them to chase it and bring it back not only promotes physical fitness, but also hones their agility reflexes.
Tug-of-War Game
Few dogs can resist the fun of “chew” toys, especially young dogs with changing teeth. You can prepare a rope, one end of which you can hold, and the other end of which your dog can bite and play the thrilling tug-of-war. Specialized teething toys can also be provided to help relieve their teething itch.
Hike or Travel
Hiking or traveling with your dog can provide them with plenty of opportunities for outdoor adventures and exposure to novelty, thus enriching their life experience and satisfying their curiosity about the unknown. In addition, it helps them enhance their ability to adapt to unfamiliar environments.
