Maple needs to run. So do I but that's besides the point 😆
Why does Maple need to run? To battle all that anxiety that's been holding too much space in her brain lately. She's an anxious reactive dog who just can't seem to let things go so we need that steady state exercise that running brings to help pump her full of endorphins to battle the cortisol levels that seem to be raging pretty high.
We tried biking yesterday for the same reason and it turned out she was far more anxious over the bike than anything else and we passed a lot of triggers 😅 running next to the bike almost seemed to keep her in that anxious state, the exact opposite of that we were trying to achieve. So off we went for a run this morning lol. Thankfully it was cooler than the 80* it has been and it was one of my cardio days anyway so win win! 🥳
Let's see how much more relaxed she is throughout the day after that. ❤️
