For us, the "higher" life form on the planet, it can take the form of jogging, aerobics, basketball, working out at the gym or a myriad of other activities. We use these various forms of excersize to let off steam, to keep ourselves headed in the right direction, to recharge our batteries so to speak.

Our furry friends need their play time, too. Sure, they're here for our enjoyment and are a blast to have around, but we owe it to them to be certain they get the exersize they need, also. Our efforts in this regard will help them to realize a longer, healthier life span. And, a pleasant side effect could be that our health will improve as we put our pups through their paces!

Here are some ways to ensure you dog can stay active and have fun at the same time:

One activity you can enjoy with your dog is to try your hand (or paw) at the sport of agility. This is the sport you sometimes see on TV where you see dogs competing against one another as they jump over hurdles, weave through poles, run over raised walks, etc. You can click here to get a little more information about this sport.
