That’s a horrible idea, I’ve seen too many cases where this dog just ends up overweight bored and badly behaved. While this can work for some, a lot of people who have trouble getting into any kind of routine (be it fitness, eating habits or whatever) are not going to suddenly change. They maybe start out really motivated, but then they fall into old habits just this time an animal suffers the consequences with them.
