El dog needs to play sports, either in greater or lesser amounts depending on the breed, but adequate physical exercise for their age and their characteristics is always important. In addition, there are many sports that we can do with our dogs, and that is why it is a good way to be healthier, sharing those sports with our pet.
Surely the first thing that comes to mind is that go for a walk with the dog it is already a sport. And it is true, but there is a wider range of things that we can do with them. Each sport is a challenge, and if we both enjoy it, we will receive many benefits in return, such as an improvement in our physical appearance but also in the emotional one. We both reduce our stress and anxiety.
El canicross It is the sport that is practiced running with the dog, where we wear a strap around the waist. But this is only available to those who have already practiced a lot. The dog must go with us and not pull too much, and we must also be in good shape. However, running with the dog, starting at the level that is most comfortable for us is very beneficial for both and an affordable sport for anyone.
There is also the modality of riding a bicycle while the dog goes by our side. This only for dogs that are in great physical shape. They must also be educated not to cross in front of them or we can both hurt. It certainly takes more practice than running.
Throw the puck or the ball It may not demand too much from us, but it is also a good sport that gets us out of the house. In this case, the dog practices obedience and runs, so it has many benefits over him.
