Build a Lifetime Bond with your Pet
Exercise is the most important activity between you and your dog. The exercise fulfills your dog’s happiness and stability within the home. Walking will help your dog become familiar with territory and the environment surrounding you. The walk also helps your dog become socialized in public as well as in your own neighborhood. They will look to you as the leader when their behavior, such as heel and sit is controlled in new environments.
In a wild pack, dogs hunt many hours a day, play many hours and show affection to each other. These activities stimulate mentally as well as physically. Some breeds require different activity levels than others.
There are many ways to exercise your dog such as playing fetch with a favorite toy, walking, running, or hiking for 30-60 minutes twice a day. Your discipline would follow your exercise by teaching obedience commands. If you have difficulty in teaching your dog you should contact a professional for help to teach you and your dog the dynamics of basic obedience.
We get so wrapped up in our daily activities that we forget what pack animals crave and require instinctively. The most powerful bond you will build with your dog is through simple exercise.

Cute article, I exercise my boxer sadie by letting her play with her friend all day, Prince a rhodesian ridgeback. Boxers have unlimited energy, sometimes its a pain but I love her. She and prince are both registered at MyPetPlay.com.
Thanks! MyPetPlay looks like a great site. I will have to register our dogs on there later. They can use some extra playtime with new dogs. Socialization is so important for training.
Great post. I think getting some simple exercise every day is great for both you and your pet! I enjoy riding my bike with my Chocolate Lab. He is huge, so he pretty much pulls me the entire time. It’s great for both of us! Love your site, just found it. Can’t wait to read more.
Yes it’s true. I also done this and a great result happened. My pet and I had a great fun together. He is more attentive and active to my task that I was given to him.
