Growing up with dogs in New Hampshire taught me that an active dog, is a well behaved dog. As a seasoned fitness professional, I understand anatomy and physiology of the human body, and dogs are not much different in terms of metabolism. They NEED to run! Just like we do. High intensity, shorter duration exercise will ensure your loyal friend stays around for a while longer. It could also help their mental/emotional state. Regardless if I am staying at your place, or just going out for a 30 min session, your dog will play! One of my best qualities is reliability. You will not get hung up at the last moment before an important vacation or meeting. Please ask for references to understand the experience in more depth.
