Exercise usually does a dog good, but there are times when too much exercise and activity cna actually be counter productive. Read on for a client case study.
Dog Training Blog
Recently one of my client's dogs passed away, leaving his remaining 11-month-old puppy lonely and distraught. He stopped eating, he was "mopy" and he wasn't himself. Since 8 weeks old, Charlie was used to having another dog in the house and now his world was upside down.
I received two calls this week that that reminded me about the importance of making sure a dog is physically healthy before I recommend training strategies. One call was in regards to a 3-year old dog that recently started whining uncontrollably whenever his person was out of the room or out of the home. He also had a few housetraining regressions and his guardian found a few accidents when he got home.
