It s much the same for pets. They too, are susceptible to aches, pains, and arthritis. It s safest to consult your veterinarian for advice before embarking on a training partnership with your dog. Dogs want to please. Unlike humans, they don t whine or stop when they are tired.
Dogs don t handle hot and humid weather well either.
Combine the two and you could be putting your dog at risk for heat stroke, which can be fatal. To cool off, dogs don t sweat - they pant. This is one of the few things they can do to lower their body temperature. The dog may become weak and wobbly and even fall down. If this happens, immerse your dog in water.
