5 Ways owners unknowingly stress out their dogs
#5 – Lack of Exercise
Dogs need activity! All dogs, no matter what size, age, or breed. They are intelligent living beings that can and do get bored. Having a dog should be a rewarding experience for both the dog and the owner. Dogs need physical exercise to stay healthy and strong, and mental exercise to keep their brains working. Both types of exercise release endorphins and make people feel happier and healthier, and they do the same for dogs! Dogs that are unsatisfied and bored will often start destructive behaviors such as chewing and digging, which leads to unfair punishment and stress. Making sure your dog has the right amount of physical and mental exercise is imperative to their health and well-being, and is completely dependent on you.
