If you wish your puppy to grow healthy it needs physical activity
and games with puppies and adult dogs. The complex of physical
exercises for dog training at the puppy age should obligatory
include short distance jogging (40 - 60 yd) and running race with the
owner. Further add power training, throwing of balls, sticks,
active coming up to the owner with a command "Come!".
Here you will learn which dog training games fit the best for dog
physical development, how to train a healthy dog, and what kind of
loading is useful for a puppy training from the first months of
life.
Dog training games at walking Dog training games at daily walking is the best way to give physical
loading for a dog since the first months of life.
It is recommended to make regular 1-2 hours long dog walking in the
woods or park zone 3-2 times a day.
Since 5 months old walking is to be made 4-5 times a day, including
one basic walking 2-3 hours long. Basic training should include dog
running along straight flat field and one with obstacles (hills). A
dog should run from the owner 50-100 yd far. The other shorter walks
are for speed training, tracking, socialization and games with other
dogs.
Physical training of dogs of 6-8 months old
At the puppy age of 6-8 months physical training should be
increased. For example, in winter you may use skiing. At first a dog
owner should move slowly (3-4 Mph), slide down various heights
(speed increases to 6 Mph). Physical loading increases gradually
each day (speed and duration of walking).
Power training for dogs of 9-10 months old Dog power training starts since 9-10 months. For instance, get a
heavy stick and throw it 15-20 yd far. A dog is sent to bring the
item 5-10 times.
At dog age of 10 months your pet requires 2-3 trainings of 2-3 hours
long. In summer you may throw items into water for your dog to bring
it (5-10 times 10-15 yd from a bank). Exercise active dog games,
active running, jumping and running through obstacles.
