About this episode
Visit us at shapedbydog.com If someone comes to me with a behaviour problem, one of the first questions I ask is "how much exercise does your dog get?". There is often a definite link between the mental and physical stimulation a dog receives and the amount of trouble the dog gets into. Exercising your dog or puppy can be easy and done within your home. The games I'm sharing are great ways to engage your dog's brain and body if you can't get out, or you have an injury that means you can't go for your usual walks or outings with your dog. In the episode you'll hear: • Why dogs need exercise and how you can include this in daily life. • 20 easy games to play with your puppy or dog. • How to use what you have at home to engage your dog's mind and body.
