Is Fido a little lazy lately? Get moving with these expert tips.
HOOF IT!
Use stairs to play fetch with you pup, suggests Colleen Demling-Riley, dog behaviorist for dogtopia.com. Toss a favorite ball or toy up the stairs and have her race to get it.
MIX IT UP
Change your normal walking route to give your dog more chances to sniff new scents. The change of scenery will give him a good workout and mental stimulation, says dog trainer Kevin Ryan of superbdog.com.
GO SHOPPING
Take Fido on your next visit to your favorite pet-friendly store. This will give him new sights and smells to discover, says Demling-Riley.
HIT THE TREADMILL
A standard home treadmill is just as useful for burning excess energy for your furry friend as it is for their people. Just monitor your dog and stop if they begin to show signs of distress, advises Demling-Riley.
SET THE SCENE
Create an obstacle course to challenge your dog both physically and mentally. Use household items like footstools to jump over and shoes or cans to weave around, suggests Claudine Sievert, veterinary consultant at catpet.club. |
