​

Because of cold weather or raining, it is very difficult to bring out your dog for exercise?
Here are some solution that can do at home with your dog. Don't just simply give up to make your dong health in body and also mental.

*before instituting a new exercise regimen for your pet, you have to check with a vet!

​

​

pump it up

if you have stairs in your home, you can have your dong run them to expend energy and exercise his body and mind. Stand at the top of the stairs, and throw a toy down to your dog, and then, you call him to you. 

​

Make it a challenge

If you have the space, set up a small obstacle course for your dog to run through using couch cushions, dining chairs, and blankets. Leave treats after every obstacle to encourage him to explore and navigate the course. This will exercise his mind as well as his body.

​

Think on it

Dogs need mental exercise as well as physical exercise. Make sure that you're running through your dog's obedience training each day to keep him sharp. The excitement of working with you will provide great mental exercise. 

​

Get those steps in

Treadmill training your dog may not be the first thing you think of when it comes to indoor exercise, but the treadmill training is one of the best options for people and pets with only a little indoor space. Getting the dog used to the treadmill can take some time, so it's important to be patient. Start by putting your dong on the treadmill and giving him a treat. Repeat until he becomes comfortable. Then take him off the machine and turn it on. Allow your dong to check it out and give him a treat as he sniffs around and gets used to the sound of the running treadmill. After the dog is completely comfortable jumping on and off the treadmill and with the sound of it running, turn the treadmill onto the lowest speed and have your dong walk on it. it can be helpful to stand at the front of the treadmill to encourage your dog to walk toward you. Never leash or otherwise attach your dong to the treadmill. As he gets more comfortable you can increase the speed until he gets his workout in!
