In this episode, I’m talking about the hidden effects of sedentary living on dogs and why movement is about so much more than exercise. From nervous system regulation and lymphatic flow to emotional health and behavior, I break down why modern indoor lifestyles may be disconnecting our dogs from what their bodies were designed to do.   Topics Discussed: → Why are dogs becoming sedentary? → Can lack of movement cause anxiety? → Why do dogs need sniff walks? → How does stress affect dogs? → What behaviors signal under stimulation?   Sponsored By:  → Green Juju → Real Mushrooms    Check Out Rita: → The Herbal Dog (Book) → Rita’s Instagram → Facebook Group → My Courses → My Website and Store   Produced By: Drake Peterson ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/dogs-are-individuals-5584531/episodes/sedentary-dogs-nervous-systems-chronic-itching/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/dogs-are-individuals-5584531/sedentary-dogs-nervous-systems-chronic-itching.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
