Dogs love to exercise. It’s no secret that finding the time to exercise your dog can be one of your largest obstacles. Here are five ways you can change up you and your dog’s exercise routine.

TENNIS BALLS

Invest in a tennis ball or two. Dogs love to chase them for hours on end. Train your dog to return them to you and you’ve got yourselves a win, win activity.

FRISBEE

Frisbees are great! If you and your dog live near a frisbee course, check it out. Be sure to verify that your dog is welcome on the course before you hit it. When you toss a frisbee, make sure you toss one specifically for your dog. It’s not only a great physical work out, but also a great physical work out for you.

DOG PARK

If your dog gets along with other dogs, visit your local dog park. Dog parks often have bridges and hoops for them to jump through. If your dog has no interest, show him how it all works. A little patience and an opportunity to mingle with other dogs, makes this a great outing for both of you.

RUNNING

Are you a runner? If not, maybe consider taking it up. A great way to keep your dog in shape is to take him on a run. Remember to run at his pace and you can have a great experience. Not into running? Make it a fast walk. Burning a few calories while out exercising is good for both of you.
