t or human are alike. Our pets need regular, consistent exercise to stimulate the immune system, develop strength, endurance, flexibility, agility, and improve digestion, circulation, respiratory and cardiovascular systems. A large backyard will offer the opportunity for some physical activity but this should not be a substitute for a walk/run. Dogs too like to check p-mail*, bark up a storm with friends, and to show off in their community that they are staying fit! Exercise is beneficial by decreasing the chances of destructive behavior. Keeping your pet in good physical shape means being more satisfied with life indoors. As with any exercise program, your dog will start slow until they become accustomed to physical activity. Simply said, it’s just one paw in front of the other! Explore our Capital District dog walking programs, meet your Capital District dog walker, and then get in touch today to get started!
