Chart Polski Exercise : Precautions, Best Exercise

Just a post a couple of days ago I presented my views on the diet that should be followed for a chart polski dog. Chart polski exercise is definitely influenced by the diet they will be receiving. Related to chart polski exercise in that article I have stated a couple of times that the quantity and percentage amount of protein in the diet of your chart will be influenced by the extent of exercise your dog is receiving. So, let us now look into details of this topic and examine how chart polski exercise effects this dog’s diet and vice versa.

A general preview of Chart Polski exercise.

The diet that we discussed in previous post was just an indicative of what should be done and I have encouraged prospective owners and present owners to experiment and go with their gut feeling as no one except the person caring for can understand likings and eating habits of their dogs.

The similar concept is true in the case of chart polski exercise also. Every dog is an individual with individual needs. Yes there is a general plan to follow for every individual of this breed but after sometime every owner ends up devising their own special program for their own special dog. Breeders and owners having multiple chart polski will instantly relate to this because they know every dog in their home is having a unique wonderful personality. They are equally unique in their needs of exercise also. Some will love to chase small game or a toy, some will hop around and some will just love to run free on a country side.

Key rule is let them but supervise. Yes you need to supervise them all around, maybe a little if you are living in countryside and if you are living in a town or a metropolitan you need to stay extremely vigilant when you are walking or running with your chart polski in the streets. I will explain in length when we will present our work on chart polski temperament. So, it is now understandable that you need t exercise your chart polski extensively and greater intensity than most of the common household dog breeds.

Precautions with Chart Polski exercise

Now when you know that your chart polski will beneeding much greater amount of exercise let us see precautions you need to take and always keep in back of your mind while working with your chart polski.

Don’t push puppies too much.

This is the most important aspect of chart polski exercise because taking precautions with your chart polski when they are juveniles will give you opportunity to enjoy strong and sturdy dogs when they will be adults. This is one very common concern that is shared with almost every sight hound. When they are small juveniles the puppies of sight hound breeds will go through a stage called gawky leg stage. As the name suggests during this stage the puppies will be having slightly weak legs and these weak thigh muscles will impart an ungraceful awkward springy movement. During this stage there is a possibility of injury during a rough play.

Heavy exhausting long runs are not welcomed now. Deep or really logs jumps are equally damaging. Be easy on puppies and play delicately. Small run and chase sessions in the backyard or a little tug of war with shoe laces, easy 15-20 minutes’ walk or a short run to the end of your lane are good and entertaining for both of you.

You have to take care of the wellbeing of limbs of your chart polski pup during exercise for a few months. One more thing I forgot to mention above, avoid steep jumps when you are playing with young chart polski and puppies. Reason is the same, the reaction of jump could generate so much force that shoulder and thigh muscles could suffer severe damage and in some case such accidents have given muscular deformities to poor puppies for life. I would suggest being cautious for your dog for whole life but extreme caution can be a bit released once they reach adult hood at 15-18 months of age.

Instincts don’t go away.

In keeping chart polski or for that matter any other sight hound you have to be cautious for other small animals more than you own adult dog. This is attributed to the hunting and chasing instincts of this breed inscribed deep into the DNA. When you are exercising in open fields then maybe you are not required to give a very close attention during a long run session. Just look for hidden irregularities in the land and your dog will be good to go. But when you are living in a town or a metropolitan city you need to be extra cautious.

See, the hunter in you chart polski will never be subdued. Everything small and moving will be considered a game and will be chased down and possibly hunted down. Now you can imagine what is the threat in exercising chart polski in a crowded city. Small dogs like Pomeranians, mini dachshund, Yorkshire terriers and many other small and medium dog breeds, cats in neighbors’ yards, squirrels and every other small moving living thing are game and your chart polski is going to chase them. Mind it you would love to see your adorable hunter chasing in full speed but it will be a nightmare for people whose pets are being chased.

That’s why to minimize a risk of potential law suit from owners of chased down little pets, it is recommended to raise a chart polski if you have large open fields or at least in a large yard with high boundary walls to restrict them jump over the fence and catch your neighbor’s cat. Now, that said, if you are living in a crowded locality and if you absolutely must have a chart polski than please remember to follow some necessary steps in raising your pup.

Absolutely don’t get an adult chart polski. You would never predict the behavior or anything happened in past that might trigger an unwanted behavior.
Always get your chart polski puppy from a reputed breeder who is working on improving the breed. A breeder who is in love with what he or she is doing will take care of their dogs and this will show in their pups. Physical attributes are important but a good breeder will always be equally concerned with the psychological aspect also.
Start getting your pup socialized as early as 4-5 week of age. Take them to community classes. Let them meet small dogs and friendly cats or other small pets. If you are living on a farm then let then socialize with small farm animals. But even after this you need to be cautious all the time.
Exhausting this dog physically is a difficult task. You will be pushed to your own limits. But if you don’t get your chart polski exercise and that too a lot of it, you are going to have behavioral problems with your dog. That is why when raising a chart polski exercise is so important. Chart polski exercise notonly helps the dog’s need of physical activity but it also subdues the nervous energy in your dog which leads to the behavioral problems to a larger extent.

Best Chart Polski exercise.

Without a doubt chasing and hunting combined are the best exercise you can give to your chart polski. But the question stands that if you are allowed to or not. In native lands the hunting using chart polski is banned and in other civilized parts of the world this is also out of the question. So what is the solution?

You can use some innovative methods for performing chart polski exercise.

You can use automatic rope winder with a range of 50-100 m of thread length. At the end of the thread you can tie a piece of meat or any other treat that your chart polski likes. Then unwind the rope and lay it in its full length on the ground. Tease your dog a little and then make your dog chase that treat all the way down to the automatic rope winder.
You can develop your own greyhound racing circuit replica with low cost supplies and have your dog run around in circles to chase that meat.
A good and long country run over rough terrain is always welcome. This not only provides good amount of exercise but also satisfies the wanderlust of your dog.
Exercise your chart polski to exhaustion at least once a day preferably in the morning just around or before sunrise. Then take them for walk in the evening just around sunset. Walk should be long at least 3-4 miles.
If you have socialized your chart polski well enough then you can also join a dog community training session or you can take your chart polski to pask where other dogs from locality visit for a fine playtime.

To the closing note I would really like to point out that if you are an active and outgoing person then this is a good dog for you. Getting your chart polski exercise adequately will also help in somewhat controlling their urge to chase and hunt which will in turn help you in keeping this breed in urban environment.
