April Adventures – Celebrate Active Dog Month with These 10 Tail-Wagging Tips! 

Keeping your dog active is important for their physical and mental well-being. Here are some ways to help them stay active: 

#1: Regular Walks 

Take your dog for daily walks to provide them with exercise and mental stimulation. 

#2: Playtime 

Engage in interactive play sessions with toys such as balls, frisbees, or tug toys. 

#3: Dog Sports 

Consider enrolling your dog in activities like agility, flyball, or obedience training classes. 

#4: Hiking 

Take your dog on hikes to explore new environments and give them a chance to exercise. 

#5: Swimming 

If your dog enjoys water, swimming can be a great low-impact exercise. 

#6: Running or Jogging 

If you’re a runner, consider taking your dog along for a run to help them burn off extra energy. 

#7: Fetch 

Playing fetch is a great way to exercise your dog while bonding with them. 

#8: Dog Parks 

Take your dog to a dog park where they can run around and socialize with other dogs. 

#9: Obstacle Courses 

Set up a simple obstacle course in your backyard or local park for your dog to navigate. 

#10: Training Exercises 

Incorporate training exercises into your daily routine to keep your dog mentally engaged and active. 

Remember: 

It’s important to tailor your dog’s activity level to their age, breed, and health status. Always consult with your veterinarian before starting a new exercise routine for your dog. See below for links to our favorite active gear for dogs on Petflow!
