Dogs, regardless of their breed or size, need regular exercise to maintain good physical and mental health. Lack of activity can lead to many health, behavioral and emotional problems that affect their quality of life.
A tailored exercise routine brings many benefits to your dog:
A dog that doesn't get enough exercise can develop weight problems, hyperactivity, aggression, separation anxiety and even digestive disorders. Boredom can also lead to destructive behaviors like chewing furniture or excessive barking.

Inactivity increases obesity risks by 60% and multiplies behavioral disorders by 3. A dog that doesn't release its energy can develop destructive or depressive behaviors. The typical case is the Husky: often chosen for its beauty, it requires between 10 and 15 hours of intense physical activity per week (running, pulling, hiking) to stay healthy. Find on Sunds sports partners capable of keeping up with their pace and avoiding these traumas.
