BODY.MIND.SOUL.
Body: Exercise works the dogs muscles and tires them out. It gets their blood flowing and their circulatory system strong. Just like in humans, daily exercise is beneficial to their health. It supports healthy joints and bones as well. Daily exercise also tires dogs out, so they are calm, well behaved and stay out of trouble when they are at home.
Mind: A tired dog is a happy (and well behaved) dog. Dogs were bred for a purpose, some to be guard dogs, some herding dogs, etc. These breeds were designed to have a job. If they are not exercised daily they suffer as they want to work. Most dog live for their walks. You grab the leash and they get sooo excited. A well balanced dog wont act like that. They will be calm when it is time for a walk even though they are super excited!
A short walk around the block is fine for potty break and stretching, but a long walking/hiking excursion really taps into their energy and works their mind.or yoga.
Think of yourself after a long run… You feel good! Same thing for dogs!
Soul: Dogs love to be outside sniffing around. They enjoy marking their territory, smelling other dogs scents, being a part of the world. The joy on a dogs face when its rolling on its back in a patch of grass is priceless. Dogs deserve the chance to explore the world they live in and not be confined indoors or in a backyard all day. When a dog is sufficiently tired and that tongue is flapping they get a silly grin on their face…it is true happiness!
