Winter Exercise Tips for your Canine Companion

Dogs Don't Hibernate!

It's important that your dog get daily exercise. On those days when bad (or frigid) weather makes walking Susie and Sam impractical, you can still give your best buddies the exercise they need with these winter exercise ideas.

• Bring your best furry friend to Kamp K-9 for Daycare. We've got lots of room for them to run and play (and stay all day). We love that rhyme. Your BFFs are constantly supervised so you never have to worry what they're up to when you're not home.

• Play a game with your dog.
• Challenge your dog’s nose.
• Dog treadmills and indoor walking.
