Problems With Lack of Exercise

Dogs can be like young children. If you don’t give them something constructive to do with their energy, they’ll find something to do on their own-and you may not like it!
  • Destructive chewing, digging or scratching
  • Investigative behaviors, like garbage raiding
  • Hyperactivity, excitability and night-time activity
  • Unruliness, knocking over furniture and jumping up on people
  • Excessive predatory and social play
  • Play biting and rough play
  • Attention-getting behaviors like barking and whining

Benefits of Exercise and Play

The good news is that keeping your dog healthy, happy and out of trouble with daily exercise is a lot of fun and provides many benefits, including:
  • Reduce or eliminate the common behavior problems, such as digging, excessive barking, chewing and hyperactivity
  • Keeps dogs healthy, agile and limber
  • Reduces digestive problems and constipation
  • Helps timid or fearful dogs build confidence and trust
  • Dogs feel sleepy, rather than restless, at bedtime or when you’re relaxing
  • Keep dogs’ weight under control
Please talk to your vet before engaging your dog in physical activity if there is a risk of illness or injury. Dogs are required to be up to date on all vaccinations.

Pawformance sessions are more than a simple time saver; they expedite energy release and work your dog into an accomplished, calm mindset.  Each session lasts approximately 20-30 minutes and are recommended weekly for optimal results.
