Puppy’s Need Exercise Too
It’s been said that “A tired puppy is a good puppy!” Often, destructive behaviors are due to a puppy that’s not had enough exercise. FitPaws® products are perfect for helping get rid of puppies’ excess energy, while giving them a beneficial physical and mental ‘job’ by teaching them new games, tricks, and behaviors.
The FitPaws® Donut is a must for any new puppy owner. And a FitPaws® Circular Product Holder makes it even easier to start training your puppy. These inflatable products are low-impact and you can start as early as 8 weeks, with 3–5 minute training sessions.
Your puppy’s tail will wag when they are rewarded for learning new behaviors on FitPaws® equipment, which enriches your bond with your new best friend. You can also improve your puppy’s confidence and desensitize them to the wobbly motion of the car ride by playing games with them on the FitPaws® Wobble Board for short durations.
Improving your puppy’s core strength, confidence, and body awareness puts them on the right track to living a longer, happier, and healthier life. A more active lifestyle strengthens your puppy for future injury prevention and overall well-being.
