8. Up and down
This activity is very similar to the previous one and as simple and cheap. If you live in a building, you don’t have to invent the wheel. Just access the emergency stairs with your dog and go up and down as much as you have in mind (and of course, how much you can take). But if you don’t have a ladder in your home, you can easily simulate one. To build it, you will need objects with different levels of height, at least one of which can be reached by your dog when jumping, the first step, and the others in increasing height. One suggestion is to prioritize square or rectangular objects, such as shoe boxes and appliances, just so that your dog can safely support himself when climbing. Make a ladder with them and encourage him to come up with a snack. When he is on the bottom step, congratulate him in a different tone of voice or by giving him the snack you were holding. Then do the same, this time guiding your dog down the steps. This repeated up and down in addition to aerobic is also strength training. In addition to dog activity ideas, you now have eight guarantees that you will not leave your dog without exercising at least three times a day. There are options of varying levels of complexity and prices for all purchasing powers. So no more excuses, right?
