I was just watching Sonoran Living and they had a great segment with Camp Bow Wow chatting about working out with the best work out a partner ever – your dog!

As a Scottsdale pet sitter who is constantly driving around in the wee hours of the morning to let pets out to potty, I always see people out walking and running with their dogs. Once, I counted as may as 23 workout partners! Working out with your dog is good for many reasons:

1. The obvious, you both stay in shape.
2. There is a bonding expereince that happens.
3. If you don’t care enough about yourself, at least you can do it for your beloved pet.
4. A chance to work on commends such as “heel” and “sit” and “wait.”
5. Great way to work on your Alpha!

Although, in the dead of the summer when we are having monsoons and extreme heat it is important to remember:

1. Always take enough water for you and your dog.
2. In the desert, it is god to carry a pair of tweezers in case cactus gets stuck in your dogs foot.
3. Be aware of the temperature of the pavement. Some summer nights are still too hot to be outside.
4. If your pets tongue looks longer than “normal” it is probably a good time to “high tail” it home immediately!
5. Cooling vests or cooling bandana’s are a great way to keep your pets body temperature down.

DID YOU KNOW? A dogs healthy body temperature should be between 100-102′
