Does Your Dog Really Need Daily Walks?

Call us biased as dog walkers, but yes! Dogs are animals that work by nature; whatever their breed (or mix!), every dog was bred with a working purpose! Because the majority of dogs are naturally active, itā€™s important that they get the appropriate amount of exercise or be given work. Even those cute lap dogs who make great couch potato companions need to exercise if we want them to stay fit, healthy, and happy for years to come. You owe it to your pals to provide exercise and a sense of purpose!

More Good Reasons to Walk Your Dog

Dogs that are left indoors for too long without exercise often take up destructive behaviors ā€“ whether they chew on themselves or furniture in the home, or take to breaking years of potty training. Trust us, frustrated dogs will find an outlet to distract themselves and let you know that theyā€™re unhappy- usually with something you treasure (RIP, Jimmy Choos). Spending time exercising your dog ā€“ whether brisk evening walks, a morning run, or Frisbee in the park a few days a week ā€“ will fortify the bond you and your companion already have.

Donā€™t believe us? Try it. Exercise your dog a bit more than what you ordinarily do as an experiment ā€“ we guarantee that your dog will show a change in behavior within a week (maybe even the same day, depending on how much fun you have!). They will be grateful and you will be able to tell.

But I Donā€™t Have Time to Walk My Dogā€¦

Many people donā€™t have the time to dedicate to their pups, especially those who travel frequently or work long hours (hello, everyone in Miami!). Thatā€™s why Equipaws Pet Services exists! Our dog walkers and runners can help you get your dogs the exercise they need. Our pet sitters, dog walkers, and runners play with, walk with, and run with your pets, giving them that much-needed outlet and attention while youā€™re away. And we tailor our services to your dogā€™s needs. For example, our German Short-Haired Pointer friends get fast-paced bike rides in the shade; our senior friends get a more sedate, brief walk in consideration of their joints.

An exercised dog is a happy and calm dog that will not fuss over your every step. Dedicate an hour or so a day or at least a few hours a week to giving your pup a good workout, and you will see that their downtime truly is a relaxed and happy time. S/he will curl up on the couch right next to you and doze happily while you relax in your way, knowing that a good run or romp in the dog park is in the near future. Think of children ā€“ furry kids are much the same! They need sports and activity! No child is relegated to staying indoors all the time, laying inactive in their bed. Donā€™t do that to your pup!

Give us a call today if you need advice on what kind of exercise your dog craves at 305-794-3733. We are also happy to set up a complimentary in-home consultation to work out the best exercise options for your pet if you simply donā€™t have the time to work out with your dog. Weā€™re looking forward to hearing from you! Rememberā€¦ a dog was born to run! (And just look at how happy Kona, Olive,and Bas look after their walks!)
