Although the outdoor temperature is low in winter, life lies in movement. As long as you do the right exercises in winter, you can still ensure the health of dogs and owners. Here are four kinds of exercises suitable for dogs and their owners in winter picked by the editor. Let's live healthily together.
1. Hiking: Hiking is an exercise dogs really enjoy. It can better train their walking and running ability, making their leg muscles more solid and powerful. Remember to bring water and food, observe the dog's condition, and avoid excessive physical exertion.
2. Walking: The simplest exercise is walking. After dinner every day, let your pet walk calmly by your side. When walking, keep the dog within your sight and don’t just focus on your own pace. Twenty minutes daily is recommended.
3. Frisbee: Catching frisbees is one of dogs’ favorite exercises. Compared to running or walking, playing frisbee is more varied and fun. Before playing frisbee, it’s best to let your dog do some simple warm-up exercises. Check the frisbee and the field to avoid injuries.
4. Jogging: Untie the leash from the dog’s neck so the dog can run freely, following your speed. Don’t let the dog wear you out, and don’t let it fall too far behind. Pay special attention if the pet has poor health or chronic diseases.
