My service dog has her own physical and mental exercise buddy. Both dogs benefit from their rough play and running. They love their hanks of rope that are kept in their toy box, along with the balls. Yes we actually throw balls INSIDE my house to make sure they get enough exercise on bad weather days! Exercise is so important! My service dog has her own physical and mental exercise buddy.

A friend with a lab ended up getting two surgeries on her for that. My sister brings her dog to aqua-therapy to get some running in. I measure Dolly's food and am extremely miserly with the treats. I say that I am applying all the disipline to her that I neglect for myself. Oh, be careful with that. A friend with a lab ended up getting two surgeries on her for that.

So now we are on leash and you are so right, they need the running every day! We are adding LAB FLAB! Labs put on weight fast, and so does her mom, me. Though my husband hasnt. Cant wait for her next appt with our vet to see if its ok for her to run again and swim and do all the things the we used to do.

Your dogs are happier and healthier for it. The losing 10 lbs surprised me though. ;) Anita I sure see nothing wrong with a friendly game of tug of war. Your dogs are happier and healthier for it.
