 Chronic pain and other mobility disabilities commonly interfere with the handler’s ability to properly exercise their service dogs.
Busy pet owners may come home from work late and don't want to walk their dog in the dark (understandable). And any dog owner has experienced the split obligations of wanting and needing to walk their dog, but it's raining or snowing. In these instances, a treadmill can be a key secret to fulfilling your dog's exercise needs with realistic life pressures. Learn about where to find a treadmill, when to turn to the treadmill, and how to teach your dog to safely run on one. A treadmill shouldn't be your dog's only source of exercise, but it can be a valuable tool.

 My dog plays at home with his one dog friend, never at the park In the country, people just let their dogs roam. Good country dogs know to stay on their home territory, some are trained to be responsible off-leash. The only fences in the country are the ones meant to keep the livestock in, not the dogs. It’s just how it is. My dogs have country life.
In the city, a lot of people have fenced yards for their dogs to play in, they take their dogs for routine walks, or they go to the magical and wonderful blessing that is the Dog Park. But, is the Dog Park really blessing? Or, is it a disaster? I know what I’ll recommend to clients, but only you can decide how you feel about the Dog Park. I’ll share the benefits of taking your dog to a fenced Dog Park, pet or service dog, and the dangers. I’ll share tips about how to use the Dog Park to your best advantage. I’ll also give extra notes on the hazards to a service dog team being at a dog park.  Have you ever seen a dog trotting around in a set of colorful booties and thought how spoiled and frivolous it seemed? Dogs don’t need clothes, right?!
I used to think the same thing. Until I partnered with a service dog and I saw the value of boots for general well-being of the dog, and as a courtesy to businesses. Boots aren’t just for working dogs, though, there are times when a pet dog could benefit from a nice set of boots as well! When choosing a set of boots, it’s important to think about why you need them, how the mechanics of your dog foot works (not all boots sold for dogs are good for them), and what your budget is. It’s also a good idea to have several different types of boots on hand, because then you have the option of choosing what’s best for your dog that day, in that moment. |
