Think about it-dogs make ideal training partners. Having said this, before bringing Fido along on your next skating session, there are a few key points to consider. Most importantly, your dog must be well trained. You should pay special attention to the size, breed, age, temperament, and health of your canine companion before embarking with her on your next killer workout. Finally, know how to recognize signs of over-exertion.
Obedience training is essential.
A well-behaved dog is worth its weight in kibble when it comes to maximizing the experience for both you and your pet. Most dogs love to run, and want to run. This is a good thing since it might even force you to pick up the pace a little just to keep up. But Rex may wish to spice up his workout with a chase. If your dog has a history of bowling over little old ladies on their way back from the market, it s time to start with a basic obedience class.
