It has come to my notice that in these times of lockdown there is a good living to be had as a fitness trainer, and I am thinking that I might have something to offer in this expanding field.
Tell me, does your human ever struggle to keep up with you when out on walks?
Well I have an infallible method of incentivising mine to get the old cardiovascular system pumping away.
You race well ahead, making like you're chasing a deer or something. You feign deafness, and as your human's shouts become louder and more panic-stricken, you step on the gas.
For sure they will sooner or later be compelled to ignore all those things they learned in puppy school about never ever running after your dog while trying to recall them...
Of course it is important to judge things right so you provide your human with a good workout while not making them so cross that treats are not forthcoming.
Who's for PE with Bertie then? A full body workout - sprinting, frantic arm waving, exercising vocal chords too - guaranteed!
