A simple exercise that you and your dog can enjoy is walking. Your dog requires daily exercise, and walking is an excellent activity that both you and your canine friend can be a part of.

The slow, gentle movement of walking helps you and your dog in several ways: It tones your muscles, provides oxygen to your heart, and is beneficial to your lungs. If your dog is not used to walking or if he is a little overweight, start him off with a short 15 minute walk. Slowly built up the pace as he gets more used to it.

If you are the type of person who loves to just go out for a walk and feel the breath of fresh air, then a 1-2 mile of daily walk is all it takes to keep your dog fit, and maybe even more if you are up for the challenge. Your dog will certainly love it, especially if you have one with a high level of energy.

I mentioned yesterday the unique interactive map from Maps4Pets which has some great information on it. It a place where you can find information about dog shows and you can also add information about your forthcoming dog shows.

Well, I have just been told about some fantastic news. The Maps4Pets site has just been promoted on the prestigious Green Flag Award! The Green Flag Award is the recognised national standard for parks and green spaces in England and Wales. The award scheme began back in 1996 with the intention of recognising and rewarding the best green spaces in the country.

With their emphasis on promoting dog friendly holidays and dog friendly hotels their is a clear connection with encouraging people to take their dogs with them and to turn their holiday into a dog walking adventure!
