Starting the day with your canine companion not only energizes you but deepens your bond. Here are five simple habits to make mornings with your dog more rewarding:
- Early Walk Warm-up: Take a brisk 10-minute walk together to wake up muscles and minds.
- Healthy Breakfast Swap: Add a few slices of dog-safe fruits like apple or banana to their kibble.
- Quick Training Drill: Spend 5 minutes reinforcing a command—sit, stay or shake—to kickstart focus.
- Playtime Burst: Toss a ball or tug toy for a short play session to release energy before work.
- Gentle Groom: Brush your dog’s coat briefly to boost circulation and check for any skin issues.
Introduce one habit at a time over a week—before you know it, mornings will become your pup’s favorite time of day!
