Active or passive? The importance of regular physical activity for dogs’ health
Dogs are humans' best companions and deserve to be as fit and healthy as we are. There are various reasons for this:
Physical training Regular physical activitz not only helps dogs to strengthen their muscles and bones, but also to train their cardiovascular system and strengthen their immune system. A lack of activity, on the other hand, can lead to obesity, muscle loss and behavioral problems.
The mental benefit Active intellectual games develop new skills in dogs such as endurance, creativity in finding solutions, sense of smell or self-control. If you neglect mental stimulation, you risk having a bored dog at home that kills his boredom with unwanted actions: such as, for example, destroying furniture.
Good social skills Dogs are very social creatures and need contact with the environment, people and other animals in order to enjoy a fulfilling life. A dog with poor socialization is very prone to behavioral problems such as aggression or fear. So, physical activity brings a healthy and happy life to your four-legged friend.
