Since spring and summer time is coming up, start training to get healthier and to get better command of your dog.  The first week of March, train your dog for at least 5 minutes of sit, down, stay and come each day during week one (also walk for at least 30 minutes).  The second week, train your dog at least 10 minutes of sit, down, stay, and come each day during week two (walk at least 35 minutes).

The third week, train your dog at least 15 minutes of sit, down, stay, and come each day during week three (walk at least 40 minutes).  The fourth week, train your dog at least 20 minutes of sit, down, stay, and come each day during week four (walk at least 45 minutes).

Each day you can do more than the time I gave you if you would like to.  This will only get you and your dog healthier and a better bond.  On the walks, if your dog can’t walk as far or you are having a hard time walking longer distance, then walk what you can.  At least you will get you and your dog out in the fresh air.
