Taking your pet out for a walk is an everyday routine, but there is always a way to mix it up. If you’re struggling to find time for a workout on a busy day, this is the perfect time. Add some of these exercises to your dog walks and have a little training while spending some quality time with your pet.
Side Steps
You all know this simple exercise and you can make a stop and do it anywhere while taking your dog for a walk. Teach your dog the “come” command while shuffling from one leg to another.
Lounge Walks
This is an ideal exercise because every time you are kneeling, you can train your dog, as well. While teaching your dog the “sit” command, you can get your legs in shape, as well.
Push-Ups
The great thing about push-ups is that you can do them on the ground or on a bench in a park. While walking your dog, take a break and practice your dog commands, such as “stay” or “down”, while doing a few push-ups.
