Doggy Gym
Doggy Gym falls under the category of something fun to do with your dog. In Doggy Gym, you will guide your dog around a pre-agility-like obstacle course where he will run through tunnels and hoops, walk up and down planks, hop over low jumps, balance on a wobble board or exercise ball, go over and under objects. This activity is a great way to develop your dog’s coordination, confidence, focus on tasks, and attention on you while challenging and stimulating him both mentally and physically.
Doggy Gym is an entertaining, easy and inexpensive way to enjoy time with your dog – a chance to strengthen your bond while doing something that will make you both wag your tails! It’s also a great way to see if you and your dog are good candidates for the sport of agility.
