3 Tips On How To Excercise Your Mastiff

Mastiffs are not naturally active, but your Mastiff will be healthier and happier if you make sure it gets a moderate amount of exercise. So take walks together, play fetch and other games, and keep your Mastiff trim and healthy. When you do begin to exercise your Mastiff, begin gradually and build up slowly. Keep an eye out for signs that your dog is getting tired or overheated. If you are on a walk or away from home, always carry water with you, as Mastiffs get very thirsty.

A great way to keep your Mastiff active is to have a regular playtime. Playing with your Mastiff will keep it healthy and make it happy, because it loves nothing better than spending time with you. When playing with your Mastiff, try to do things it enjoys. If your Mastiff enjoys running, play fetch. If it likes water, fill a small pool with water and romp together. You will also want some toys for your Mastiff.

Toys need to be durable and able to withstand the mastiff's tremendous strength. Good toys include:

Children's stuffed animals
Plastic soda bottles with the cap and cap ring removed
Knotted rope bones
Large rope rings
Soccer balls and basketballs
Empty toilet paper and paper towel tubes
Empty cardboard boxes
Lawn mower tires

Remember that you should NOT over-exercise a Mastiff puppy. Until a Mastiff is around three years old, its skeleton is still developing. Too much exercise can lead to permanent bone and joint damage. Don't walk farther than you can carry your puppy back home! For more about Mastiffs, see our eBook, Mastiff Secrets -Everything You Need to Know About Buying, Raising and Caring for a Mastiff.
