Like 0 Dislike 0 Published on 16 Jun 2012
Climbing stairs provides a great workout for for a dog's leg, shoulder, hip, and lower back muscles. It's more work than running because each step requires the lifting up of the dog's entire body weight through the height of the stair. Going down the stairs involves negative contraction of the quadriceps, intensifying the workout considerably. Additionally, stair climbing helps the dog with coordination and agility.
