Problems that Result from Lack of Exercise and Play

  • Being generally disobedient, not following commands like stay or come
  • Destructive chewing of objects like shoes, digging holes in yard or scratching at doors
  • Getting into trouble, like garbage raiding or jumping up on tables
  • Attention getting behaviors like barking, whining or pawing at you for treats or pats 
  • Hyperactivity and excitability - seemingly obsessive behavior
  • Unruliness, knocking over furniture and running into people at high rates of speed
  • Nipping, rough play and excessive socializing

Other Benefits of Exercise and Play

  • Keeps weight under control and dogs healthy
  • Keep older dogs agile and limber
  • Helps timid or fearful dogs build confidence and trust
  • Helps dogs to feel sleepy and content at bedtime
  • Picky eaters will increase their desire for food
