non-negotiable first off let's get one
0:27
thing straight your taller is not a
0:28
couch potato these dogs were bred to be
0:31
active and if you think you can just
0:32
toss them a ball once in a while and
0:34
call it a day think again they need
0:36
vigorous exercise daily we're talking
0:39
fetch swimming agility courses anything
0:41
that gets them moving if you skip their
0:43
exercise routine you might find your
0:45
favorite shoes mysteriously chewed up or
0:47
your couch cushions rearranged in a very
0:49
artistic manner two mental stimulation
0:52
is key now exercise isn't just about
0:55
running around like a lunatic todlers
0:57
are smart cookies they need mental
0:58
challenges too they think of it this way
1:00
if you don't keep their minds busy
1:03
they'll find their own entertainment and
1:05
trust me it won't be the kind you want
1:07
to see puzzle toys training sessions or
1:10
even teaching them new tricks can keep
1:12
their brains engaged and out of trouble

1:51
reserved with strangers think of them as

the introverts at the dog park to avoid
1:56
turning into the suspicious type who
1:57
barks at every passer by you need to
2:00
expose them to different people and
2:01
