Prepare for unexpected vet bills
This may just seem like a fun day at the park to both you and your furry friend because for many dogs and their humans, it actually is. Because on just about any nice day at your local park you can likely see people out there throwing discs for their pooches to grab out of the air and return to them. Officially, there are two types of disc dog events, which include the Toss and Fetch and Freestyle. Toss and Fetch is exactly what it sounds like; you toss the disc, and your dog fetches it by catching it in midair and returning it to you. Freestyle involves incorporating tricks and athleticism into the catch like jumping over hurdles and doing flips. This is not for beginners unless your dog is already out there flipping around like a gymnast.Â
All dogs love to run so if you are a jogger, take your pooch along for the jog. If you get up and jog every day, take Fido with you and make it a daily commitment for both of you. This will keep you both healthy and help get rid of some of the excess energy that Terriers seem to have so much of.
Going to the dog park is a wonderful way to exercise your pooch and get that excess energy out that you do not want them to use tearing things up or barking incessantly at home. It's also important to socialize your dog with other fur babies and humans, and the dog park is the perfect setting for that. Find a good one that you both like and visit it regularly so your dog can make friends.
