A dog can offer unconditional companionship. When you take him on a trip, be prepared to open a window so he can stick his head out. They'll go for miles with their jaws and ears flapping in the wind. Once you take your dog home and train him to fetch and roll over or play with him, a bond between owner and pet will form. He depends on you to keep him safe and feed him, take him out for walks and bathe him.
Exercise gives a dog a natural outlet for releasing energy.
It can help to keep the dog from boredom and destructive behavior. Playing with or exercising your dog meets the physical and mental needs of the canine, as well as strengthening his bones and muscles. It also reaffirms the bonding relationship between the dog and yourself. Additionally, play can be used to reinforce obedience training. Stop the action occasionally and give the dog a sit or stay command.
