Exercise and play

A tired dog is a happy dog.

4 min read

Most dogs need daily walks and play, and many need more than owners expect.

Tips

  • Walk at least once or twice a day
  • Add play: fetch, tug and puzzle toys
  • Sniffing walks tire the brain as well as the body
  • In hot weather walk early or late and check pavement with your hand
  • Never leave a dog in a parked car, even for a few minutes
