Get Your Dog to Help You With Your New Year's Resolution!

Statistically, most of us don't stick to New Year's resolutions for more than a week. We simply try to do things that aren't realistic.

It may become easier to be true to our resolution when we involve our dogs. Most adults can use more exercise, fresh air and time with their pets.

A commitment to a daily walk, jog, or visit to the park with your pooch is easy to make as this resolution comes with the reward of both fun and fitness. There is simply no comparison between hours on a treadmill versus a refreshing hike with your pup. It won't take long before your dog gets into the daily routine and he or she will soon be bringing the leash to you at the appointed time. Then you won't be able to give up on your resolution as those puppy dog eyes will make sure that your time together is not neglected.
