Three instructors at the Bigwood Kennel choose desired exercise program by checking each dog’s body condition daily. Because each dog has different area in the body to tone up muscles, some dogs need to go on diet and also increase muscles, and some dogs need to improve reflexes, and keep the relaxed mental condition at the same time. We try to look for the best exercise methods according to each dog’s condition by checking their joints and the bones.
We have various courses in the forest near the Kennel, and we can do exercise on leash like a walk race for about 45 minutes. We can also let the dogs run fast on undulating slopes, and do weight bearing exercise combined with the exercise for the dogs to come back when called. We also give the basic obedience training of “sit”, “wait”, “down”, “come”, and “stay” with a free group exercise for all the dogs off leash.
