Get Walking with Your Dog

The New Year is a time that many people resolve to get in better shape. You can run, lift weights, jump rope, dance or walk. If you have a dog then you can do double duty with walking and exercise both yourself and your faithful companion.

Walking your dog is an important part of dog ownership. Walking gives your dogs the exercise they need as well as the release of energy that you would prefer on a walk and not your living room.

Taking a stroll also helps your furry friend mentally. No one is happy sitting around all day inside especially if their owner is working. It is imperative for doggie’s mind and soul to get out in the fresh air.

Dogs like to see other dogs. The chance to sniff other pooch’s behinds and wag their tales at the pretty neighbor dog is a great way for your dog to socialize. Dogs that socialize are going to tend to be friendlier and happier animals.

As with humans a healthy life is a long life. Your trusted companion will be with you even longer if you both get out and get walking every day.
