You know the old saying, "If your dog is overweight, you are not getting enough exercise"! I think this is very true. With people getting more and more obese, so are their pets. It is very important that your dog gets enough exercise. Now I know a lot of you are saying "I have a big backyard. The dog has plenty of room to go run around." Well, I have a gym membership, but I don't think I have been in well over 6 months. Just because the dog has the opportunity to use the Big Backyard, I doubt he does. The walk is also more than a walk. It is an opportunity to bond with your dog. It also allows you to run as a "pack". That is what dogs do in the wild. The leader is leading and everyone knows there place in the pack. So when you walk your dog it is important that they walk beside you and not take you for a walk.

Just because you have a big backyard doesn't mean you shouldn't walk your dog.

Just because you have a pool doesn't mean you shouldn't wash your dog.

Just because you love puppies doesn't mean you shouldn't spay or neuter your dog.

Just because you like your dog fluffy doesn't mean you shouldn't brush it regularly.

Love your dog and you will be loved back, I promise!
