I was at Walmart the other I wouldn’t be surprised if the average shopper tips  the scales about 60 lbs overweight. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but a recent study at the Research Center for Human-Animal Interaction at the University of Missouri tells society what dog owners already know. Dogs make people healthier, happier, fitter and they make people live longer.

There are several reasons for this. Number one, is the fact that dogs truly are man or woman’s best friend. They will have your back from the moment they are born until the day they die.  The social benefits of having friends like these are too numerous to mention.

When dogs want to go for a walk, they won't be denied

But the simple fact is that once you start taking dogs for walks and for runs, they simply won’t be denied. They will pressure you. They will lead you on. They will make suggestions. They will matriculate the ball down the field as it were by giving you looks, by recognizing cues, by knowing what time of day it is, when walks usually occur. And Jackie Brown will literally bring running shoes (I have several pair), one after the other and drop them on my chest if I’m kicked back on the computer or playing video games.

Sometimes it’s annoying, but let yourself go! Dogs will guide you to better health and I will guide you how to exercise with dogs by showing you the methods I use to control dogs, so that they and YOU can get more exercise and have more fun doing it. The dogs in the picture together outweigh me and this is one of the reasons I developed the “Fo Paws Tricknology” to control dogs on walks and runs without having to drag them around or be drug around by big strong dogs, the kind that I prefer.

Politicians take note. Stop making laws and policy restricting and banning dogs. Dogs are an essential part of society and are essential to humanity, in ways too numerous to mention, but not the least of which, are keeping people healthier and happier, mentally and physically.
