Once you have established a safe level of exercise at which to start, the fun begins. Depending on your pet's fitness level, there is a wide array of activities available. Many dogs love to chase these plastic discs, and this is one activity in which you can participate as much or as little as you like. If you're ready for more exercise, you can also run and frolic through the fields, or teach your dog to play fetch. Just toss the frisbee out and leave the rest to Pooch.
Swimming is another popular sport that is great for people and dogs.
It also allows you to participate at whatever level you want. If you'd prefer to stay on the side of the pool or on shore, teach your dog to retrieve a stick or toy. Once he has this activity down on dry land, he's ready to graduate to water sports. If you do wish to go swimming with your dog, you must be a good swimmer. Otherwise, your dog could inadvertently pull you under the water with his paddling.
