Whether it is a dog or a human, they all need appropriate exercise. Ordinary dogs are naturally very lively and active. For example, Border Collies have a very large amount of daily activity compared to ordinary dogs. So what should you pay attention to if you want to exercise to make your dog healthier?

First, there should be appropriate exercise every day. The amount of exercise varies depending on the breed, age and individual dogs. For example, a small dog should run about 3 to 4 kilometers a day, while a fast hound should run about 16 kilometers a day. Some small dogs, such as Chihuahuas and Pekingese dogs, are small. If they are allowed to walk long distances every day, their hearts will often be affected by excessive exercise. Walking around freely at home every day is enough for them to exercise.

Second, the dog should wear a leash when going out for exercise. Especially on urban streets, do not neglect the loose leash and let it roam freely to prevent it from being hit by a car, disturbing pedestrians, or fighting with other dogs. The dog tether should not be too tight or too loose. If it is too tight, it will affect breathing. If it is too loose, it will easily fall off. It is better to have a certain degree of freedom.

Third, the route of exercise should be changed frequently. Do not just follow the same fixed route every day. During exercise, the dog should be prevented from using its nose to sniff the excrement or other objects left behind. The dog should not be allowed to come into contact with it, nor should the dog be allowed to touch it. Put it in places where people or other dogs gather to prevent the spread of certain diseases.

Fourth, under a safe environment, you can give it some plastic toys and let it play freely or lead it to run.

Fifth, for working dogs such as hunting dogs or police dogs, swimming exercise in summer is a good whole-body exercise and can make the dog's physique develop well-proportioned. However, it should be noted that dogs should not be placed in water areas that are too wide. Dogs should also be prevented from entering waters with poor water quality.

In short, there are various forms of dog exercise, which can be selected according to different purposes. Generally, toy dogs mainly undergo health care exercises, while working dogs require special performance exercises. After returning from exercise. Drink plenty of clean water, dry your whole body with a towel, and brush away dust. Do not feed immediately after exercise and rest quietly for at least 30 minutes, otherwise vomiting may occur.
