The Importance of Doggie Exercise

We here at the best dog day care facility at the Lake of the Ozarks believe allowing your dog to have regular exercise is extremely important. In this blog, we will discuss reasons to exercise your dog and activities you can try.



Reasons to Exercise Your Dog


Keep your dog and yourself in great shape.


Regular exercise can help burn off the calories and help get you in shape for swimsuit season. Exercise is not only great for you but your dog as well. You and your dog have a better chance of maintaining a healthy body weight if you choose to engage in regular exercise.


Improve your dog's sleep.


While exercise helps your overall physical shape, it can also mentally stimulate your dog. A well-stimulated dog will have a healthier sleep.


Help maintain your dog's healthy weight.


Regular exercise can keep your dog at a healthy weight. If your dog has packed on a few pounds recently, this is a great way to get him or her back on track. 


Show your dog fun.


Walking your dog around the park can be a fun activity for both of you! Get some fresh air and show your dog the fun loving time they deserve.




Activities to Try With Your Dog


  • Playing fetch
Playing fetch with your precious pet is not only fun and a great way to bond with your pet, but a fantastic physical activity to try. Running back and forth to fetch the ball or stick will keep your dog energized and alert.
  • Tracking
While tracking may no be a common physical activity for dogs, it can be very healthy. Not all dogs are trackers but those who are interested and try having your dog, for example, smell a family members clothing and then track the family member to whatever room they are in within your home. This not only exercises the body, but the mind too.
  • Walking your dog
The classic walking of the dog is always a great way to exercise for both owner and pet.
  • Jog with your dog
If walking isn't quite physically challenging enough, try jogging with your dog. This will burn calories and help you maintain you and your dog's weight.
  • Physically playing with other dogs
While physically playing with other dogs is a healthy exercise, it also helps with your dog's social skills.
