Mental Stimulation vs Physical Exercise: What Dogs Really Need

Is your dog getting enough mental stimulation? Learn why physical exercise alone isn’t enough for calm, balanced behavior.

The Biggest Dog Exercise Myth

Many owners believe:
👉 “If my dog runs enough, they’ll calm down.”

But dogs need mental work just as much as physical work.

Without it, energy turns into frustration.

The Best Activities Do Both

The most effective activities combine:

• Movement

• Decision-making

• Natural instincts

Outdoor tug play does exactly that.
