Why
My Dog Runs...
Fitness…People
are realizing their dogs need more exercise than just plain walking.
Statistics
show people and their pets are becoming obese
.
Some
dogs, especially large or active ones, could use more rigorous exercise.
Running a dog helps reduce
many behavior problems associated with boredom, excess energy, or stress and
anxiety.
Other
companies offer to walk your dog. We not only offer the option to run your dog,
but we include a personalized fitness program and weekly running log
tailored to meet your dog's needs and ability, too!
Benefits - Exercise is crucial to your dog's physical and mental health, happiness and longevity.
We
offer a fitness
program
that includes jogging, running, and walking sessions that progress at a
pace tailored to each dog's needs.
In addition to improving the
overall fitness of your pet, walking and running your dog also helps
reduce many behavior problems associated with boredom, excess energy, or
stress and anxiety.
To be truly happy
and healthy, the average adult dog needs to raise his heart rate for 20
minutes twice a day!
When your dog is
getting the proper amount of exercise, he will be calmer, exhibit little
or no destructive behaviors, and be less likely to develop canine obesity,
heart, hip and joint problems.
