With winter settling in, \u00a0the temptation is to take your dog outside for just the minimum amount of time. That’s not best for either you or your dog. \u00a0With the proper winter jacket<\/span>, gloves and boots<\/a>, you can keep plenty warm.\u00a0Engaging in exercise, both you and your dog will stay fit and have fun at the same time. With enough practice, you might find you’ll want to take that next European vacation with your dog. Send us a photo from Crufts<\/a>, the world’s biggest dog show.<\/p>\n

The easiest exercise is to just go for an extended run or walk in one of your local parks. Build up the distance to\u00a0at least 30 minutes every other day if possible.<\/p>\n

Here, from our friends at Clippers Ireland<\/a>, are 14 other dog exercises<\/strong> you can both enjoy. \u00a0Be sure to scroll to the bottom where each breed is matched with appropriate exercises.<\/p>\n
