Offer Your Dog An Active Lifestyle

Offer Your Dog An Active Lifestyle

by Daniel Waser

Dogs have always been considered as a man's best friend, but unfortunately, many of these dogs tend to feast or play with the things that are valuable to you. The reason for this is simply because, by nature, dogs are born to be active, but they live with a TV addicted couch potato. This mismatch can make for a awkward human relationship - or a really sad dog.

If you bring a dog into your home, the activity level that the dog requires to remain physically and emotionally healthy should be one of your priorities. Getting the kind of exercise that they've always been avoiding to deal with is the mere thought that some lazy adults would think of if they tend to have a dog that needs a frequent walking twice a day.

Lazy individuals are not likely to change their habits enough to make a good fit between them and active dogs. Since lazy owners are more likely to slack off during walking sessions, the dog is not likely to get the essential benefits of having a frequent outdoor time thus the dog will be the one to suffer.

The amount of daily activity that a dog needs is not the same as exercise. You should give your dog his required time to walk, run, jump and loosen up for each day. Walking on a leash to a park or just around your neighborhood is also one way of doing this. You don't have to put your dog on a lead to let him enjoy the freedom of running and playing if you have a home with a fenced yard.

Mobility limitations can sometimes be a problem of some older adults and if this is the case, choosing a dog that calls for a lesser daily physical activity is the best thing to do. There are individuals who are inclined to have their recreation or relish the feeling of relaxation out-of-doors and they are those of which active dogs would love to spend their lives with. Meeting at the end of the day is what both the keeper and the dog gladly anticipates, when they can play pursuit in the park or go for a run together.

You should be aware that the trend to be more physically active goes with those dogs of bigger sizes. Those dogs with the heritage of being working or hunting dogs can be sited as examples of these dogs. The desire of getting busy and working off their energy is just some of their built-in traits. Dogs such as Irish Setter, Doberman, Beagle, German Shepherd and Greyhound are built for movement and agility, thus, it is natural for them to need some kind of physical exercise everyday.

Size can fool you as the exceedingly large dogs like the St. Bernard and Bull Mastiff, who can easily outweigh their keepers, are low physical activity dogs. Rescuing a missing skier or other things related to that might have been the main activity that a St. Bernard does according to the movies, what you don't know is that to sleep in front of the fireplace is the physical activity that ordinarily takes up most of the dog's time.

Small dogs like Poodles, Pekinese and Chihuahuas can live in small places and forgo the daily long walk in the park, however, getting active around your house is not something that you can avoid from these dogs since they have those nervous temperaments. It is already taken that some of their natural actions may appear to be pointless such as running to and fro around your house, meddling with your guests or bouncing either at them or at you, but as soon as the energy burst is all used up, they just tend to calm down. When those little dogs go find their way to your lap or on their sumptuous pillow, that's the time for them to recharge by getting that hard-earned nap.

There are a lot of things that you need to think about just before you decide on buying a dog. By taking time to make a profile of the dog that best fits your living space, character, and individual physical activity level, you'll have a better match for a lasting relationship. - 20511
