Exercising your Bulldog….
When seeing or thinking of a Bulldog, do you conjure up images of a greyhound? Hmmmmm…I didn’t think so. well, albeit their short legs, the Bulldog is not a fan of the gym, so to speak. They are a generally lazy breed that..well…loves to laze about. So it is up to you to MAKE them go to the proverbial gym!! Since they are genetically prone to putting on weight, it is not a good idea to only feed them and to cuddle them, but to also play an active role in looking out for their health by exercising them.
A lack of exercise can have a detrimental effect on the lungs and heart of this breed. Since the concentration span of a Bulldog is not that long, it is best advised to make the exercise sessions short but fullfulling as well. Make this a daily routine. It can be short running or longer walks around the block. It will do you both good; and it can be even a basis for mutual bonding, since he will see that you are keen to play and to take up an active role in spending quality time together. Once your beloved Bulldog, has expelled energy, he can become more focused on training sessions (which should also be short, mind you) as well as take up his favorite spot in the house…all tired out!
