With long walks in the park and nights cuddled up in front of the TV, the relationship we share with our canine companion is a special one. Simple dog agility exercises can be an ideal way to develop even further the bond you have with your pet as well as improve your dog’s obedience and behaviour. And it’s not only an enjoyable way to not only improve your dog’s health and fitness, but yours too! Best of all, it’s easy to do and absolutely anyone can give it a go.

Pet owners can use nature’s resources to construct their own course, from weaving in and out of trees to jumping over logs. You can also buy training kits at minimal cost to set up in your back garden or local park. Of course, with all of this additional exercise a well-balanced diet has never been so important for your dog.

Look for hearty foods like Supadog from Burgess, make sure they are nutritionally-packed, provide energy and sustenance, and will set him or her up for a good work out!
