【题目】 With obesity rats on the rise among Americans and their pets, two California women have come up with an all-in-one solution — a foggy boot camp where dog owners and their dogs work out together. Thank Dog Boot camp is the nation's first outdoor fitness program where both humans and dogs get a full-body workout while the dogs also learn basic skills. Founded two years ago by twins Jill and Jamie Bowers, the program has grown to include classes at various Los Angeles and Orange County locations and most recently in Northern California.
Classes begin as early as 6 a.m. With instructors yelling out commands in the traditional boot camp style. The difference here is that instructors are certified in both fitness and dog training, and each boot camper happens to have a four-legged partner by their side at all times.“People need to exercise, and dogs need to be trained and exercised,” said Jill Bowers.
The class takes place on a field in a public park with 30 minutes of running and 30 minutes of weight training. Each person has a mat. Their dogs have their own mats and water bowls beside their owner. Various squats, bends, jumps and dashes are combined for the humans. Meanwhile, dogs are told to engage in a series of numbered commands ranging from “sit” to “go” “to” “come”.
“A lack of exercise and training causes logs to have behavioral problem.” said Bowers. “If they don't have enough activities to exhaust their energy, they take it out on your favorite sofa of your designer shoes. With the boot camp, your dog is too tired to be bad.”
Attorney Taylor joined six months ago. “My dog always gets me out of bed,” said Taylor. “It's so used to going now that it's the one making sure I'm up and go out of the door. I've lost 15 pounds and have gained much confidence.”
