A dog run is a spacious fenced area that your dog (and his or her friends depending
on the size) can play and exercise inside of without a pesky leash. Dog runs are
used in many city parks and are growing in popularity. Dog runs are also available
for homes and individual backyards.
Why do owners love them?
Dog runs provide owners the peace of mind that comes from knowing that their dog
isn't going to run away and get hurt or hurt any other dogs or humans. Dog runs
are also very popular among owners because they make dogs happier as they allow
for more unfettered playtime. One important consequence of this extra time to
run around and play is that your dog's health will greatly benefit from the exercise.
Owners will also benefit from this exercise because a healthy, well-exercised
dog is less like to become unruly causing injury or property damage. |  |
Why do dogs love dog runs?
Many of the same reasons owners love dog runs are also reflected in their dogs.
While they are still being managed by the fence dogs feel a greater sense of freedom
when they are able to move without restraint about the larger space within the
dog run. While dogs do crave the close quarters of their large dog crates, they also enjoy
the variety of being able to run about and play. The brass tacks of the health
benefits may be unbeknownst to your dog but they will feel fitter and more able
to indulge in their athletic inclinations.
