Is your dog a Happy and Healthy Dog?

Is your dog overweight, lacking in good muscle tone, or starting to show signs of early joint weakness? Or does your dog habitually bark at every little noise and activity that it hears or sees? Does your pet chew up everything it can gets its mouth around, dig up your yard so that it looks like a moonscape? Regular exercise is just as important to your dogs health as food, water, and regular vet visit.

Exercise = Good Dog

Few people realize how much exercise the average dog needs. Lack of exercise is the number one reason too many dogs are labeled as "hard to handle," "out of control," destructive," or just "too hyper." Sadly, these dogs often find themselves chained up in a yard, or worse turned over to shelters, when in fact the majority of these dogs are simply under-exercised.

Just Keep Walking

Every dog, whether it has a yard or not, still deserves and needs at least one 30-45 minute walk a day outside his or her yard or other confiding area. The Daily Walk provides your pet with the following:

Time for Socializing - Dogs on a walk get the opportunity to socialize with other dogs and people. This is especially beneficial for puppies that learn the rules of acceptable canine social behavior from meeting other dogs and people.

Escape from Boredom - Confined dogs get bored without variety in their lives. Walk past a fenced yard and watch the resident dog race along the fence line, bark, pant, whimper, and practically turn somersaults to get your attention. Imagine being able to see a park, alley, or vacant lot from your yard but never getting the chance to explore it. Just as humans get cabin fever from being cooped up, it is even more so for your dog.
