In the
wild, dogs and other members of the canine family don't lounge around all day, eat one
or two meals all at once from one source, and then use a huge burst of energy as they
go out for one or two daily walks. How do we make life a little more interesting for
our pets?
Most organised dog
activities involve either a lot of time dedicated to the dog, a lot of money, or both.
The Novelty Dog Show is something you can take your pet dog to, with no prior training,
no huge costs and no experience.
Dogs with
limited mobility for any reason, including age, can still enjoy a good game as long as
it takes their abilities into account, rather than any disabilities. If short walks
(or no walks at all) are all your dog can manage, they still have a brain that needs
to be kept active.
When the
temperature gets much above 25 degrees for a prolonged period, it can be too hot to give
dogs adequate exercise. Giving them treats is one way to keep them busy. To extend the
life and interest of treats, you can freeze them and combine them with some of the many
available toys.
All these activities, plus many more, are available through Linda's small dog breed home boarding via the Little Legs Small Dog Club.
