Know Your Dog’s Limits: Ensuring Safe and Happy Playtime

Every dog has their unique personality, energy levels, and physical capabilities, so it’s important to know when your pup has had enough fun. Overdoing activities can lead to exhaustion or discomfort, which can put a damper on your adventures together. Recognizing your dog’s limits ensures they stay happy, healthy, and eager for the next outing.

How to Recognize Signs of Fatigue

Even the most energetic dogs need breaks. Watch for these common signs of fatigue during playtime:

• Heavy Panting: If your dog is panting excessively, even after a short break, they may be overheating or overexerted.
• Slower Movements: A noticeable slowdown in their pace or reluctance to engage in activities is a clear signal they’re tired.
• Shivering: If your pup starts to shiver, especially after water activities, they could be cold or expending too much energy.

Paying attention to these cues helps prevent exhaustion, overheating, or even injury.
