Dogs increase activity levels in their owners due to their need for activity themselves. Exercise causes the release of endorphins which reduces stress, anxiety, and gives someone a sense of well-being. Increased activity levels also help improve quality of sleep and mood.

A simple task such as walking a dog gives a sense of purpose and productiveness to an owner which can help improve mental health and ties into having a routine to follow which can also benefit mental health.

A Michigan State study showed that dog owners are 34  percent more likely to fit in 150 minutes of walking per week than non-dog owners.

A dogs basic need for physical activity forces their owners to provide that activity which overall causes the owner to exercise as well.

Even if it is moderate exercise, such as walking, owners still benefit tremendously from the walking. Studies also show that when walking with a dog, opposed to a human or alone, people tend to walk faster and farther distances which increases speed and endurance. ]]> 2022-11-28 18:47:15 UTC https://padlet.com/pebailey227/7g4wtlyqeyhmy4pw/wish/2400740457 Aneesa Parker pebailey227 https://padlet.com/pebailey227/7g4wtlyqeyhmy4pw/wish/2400752510
