Exercise & Play for dogs
Dogs aren’t just pets — they’re athletes, thinkers, and explorers.
Regular exercise.
Physical Exercise Ideas
Classic for a reason. It builds speed, focus, and recall skills.
Start with short throws.
Use soft toys or tennis balls.
Teach “Drop it” to make it structured play.
Change your route — new scents and sights stimulate your dog’s brain.
Try letting your dog sniff freely for a few minutes every walk — it’s mentally enriching and reduces stress.
Set up low jumps, tunnels, or cones at home or in a park.
These games boost coordination and trust between you and your dog.
Gentle on joints and great for energy-burning — ideal for Retrievers or dogs recovering from injury (always supervise).

It’s possible to overdo it — or not do enough.

🩺 If you notice these symptoms, reduce intensity or consult your vet.
