Signs Your Dog Isn't Getting Enough Exercise

Your Dog Pulls On The Leash

When you take your dog on a walk, do they pull on the leash? This can be a sign your dog is not getting enough exercise even though you are walking them. Pulling on the leash can mean your dog has excess energy and wants to go faster on your walk. If this is the case, you don't have to run to keep up with your dog. Instead, look for dog parks that allow your dog to run off-leash so they can run without being pulled back or slowed. Or, think about getting a leash that expands out several feet so your dog can walk at a faster rate than you. The point is when you go on a walk with your dog, you want them to get all of their excess energy out. So, when your dog pulling on their leash, you know they need more activity before you decide to go home.
