Ruff Runners is all about dogs who need to run! Whether your furry friend is hyper, bored, or just needs to lose a couple of pounds, running is a simple and healthy solution. With service directly to your door, Ruff Runners caters to the lifestyles of you and your dog. Programs are customized to your schedule and needs, giving your pooch the workout regimen that suits them best!
Running is more intense than a simple walk. While other forms of exercise are great as well, running is unique because it’s a natural behavior! Many dogs have actually been bred for traits such as aerobic stamina, so you’re doing them a huge favor and letting their natural talents shine! Your dog can benefit from running in many ways, including:
- Less anxiety
- A potential decrease in destructive behaviors
- A feeling of accomplishment and purpose
- Mental and physical stimulation
- Weight loss/muscle gain
- A satisfied, tired pooch!
