Walk Your Dog.
We recorded this video on National Walk Your Dog Day. The Labs don’t see the need for such a “holiday” because they think you should walk your dogs almost every day. If you don’t walk your dog(s) on a regular basis, try adding dog walking to your routine for a few weeks. The Labs predict regular dog walking will make you, and your dog(s), feel better.
Move more. Move often. Move with your dogs.

Adapt to Conditions.
The Labs would like to get outside for a hike EVERY day. The human staff is happy to help, but we also need to make sure our hikes are safe…for the Labs and the humans. So we adapt our movement plan based on conditions. Sometimes, it’s as simple as unhooking the leashes from Ben’s waist to give the Labs room to jump over a fallen tree. Other times, it’s changing the route to find the safest conditions (note: icy parking lots and closed park roads are slippery).
Move more. Move often. Adapt your movement plan, so that you can keep moving…safely.

Why do the Labs walk on leash?
The Labs get asked why they always hike on leash. They instructed their human staff to answer…with a video recorded at Lab height. So here is one humorous and 2 serious reasons why we keep the Labs on leash while hiking. 1. Leashed Labs help pull Ben up the steep hills 😹. 2. The Labs make poor decisions. If they run off to chase a deer or other wildlife, they put themselves, and their humans, at risk of injury (or of getting lost in the woods). 3. We love them! We want to keep them safe, healthy, and ready to walk another day.

For the Memories.
The Labs don’t spend any time scrolling on social media, comparing themselves to trending influencers. They are happy to share their adventures with their followers. But they know their staff is primarily interested in preserving the memory of all the FitLab Labradors. While there is plenty of negativity on social media, we encourage you to focus on the positive side of social media. Celebrate the good moments and look forward to future adventures.
Move more. Move often. Move with dogs. Collect good memories.
