9 Ways To Exercise Your Dogs And Have Fun Doing It!

If you haven’t realized this, here’s an important fact – you need to exercise your dogs in more ways than one! So – how can it be done?

1. Take Them Through An Agility Course. Keep their minds quick and their feet quicker!
2. Get Them Puzzle Toys. Solving a puzzle is always good for maintaining an active brain.
3. Have Them Earn Their Meals. Perhaps put their food in a puzzle bowl, or get them to perform tricks before they can eat!
4. Time To Learn Something New. Picking up a new trick is always a good mental exercise for your dogs, no matter their age.
5. Explore The World. New sights and sounds can double as important sensory enrichment, so why not let them go sniffing at things for a while?
6. What’s That Toy’s Name? Teach your dog the name of their toys, and have them fetch the specific toy they want to play with!
7. Time For Some Party Tricks! Ever tried hiding your dog’s treat under 3 cups and shuffling them around? It’s fun for everyone involved!
8. Be More Interactive. Getting down on your hands and knees with them provides important mental stimulation, in addition to giving them much-needed attention.
9. Let Them Make Their Own Choices. Grab a tube or a box (or really, anything your dog can climb into or through) and let them figure out how to traverse and explore this new thing!
