Summary: Exercise is not only beneficial to your life, but to your four-legged companions as well.All dogs need to find ways to burn their energy, and depending on your dog's breed, your furry friend may need more exercise throughout the day than just your typical walk. Just like humans, exercise has multiple benefits for dogs. For example, exercising your four-legged buddy increases bone, joint, heart and lung health and can even increase your dog's lifespan. Exercise can also help decrease anxiety, build trust and confidence, and eliminate play biting, jumping, and barking.
