Exercise as Enrichment

Do you vary the type of exercise you give your dog? Or do you do the same thing everyday? Well if you think about repetitive activities over time they get boring unless they are changed a bit. Instead of taking your dog for a walk along the street how about hopping in the car and going for walk at the nearest trail or soccor field. Give your dog some new sights, smells and sure even sounds. I will even change what we do on our walks. I might do alot of training with them which they love by the way, or I let them run and play and some days its just calm walks learning to walk together calmly and as always enjoying the smells. Calm walks can often be helpful for a puppy or dog to teach him exactly that.....quiet calm, watch and smell the outdoors. Comments
