Walking your dog is more than exercise. It's an opportunity for bonding and exploration. Let's create a positive experience for both of you!
A sturdy, comfortable leash and collar or harness are essentials. Consider the size and strength of your dog while choosing.
Dogs thrive on routine. Regular, predictable walk times can make your dog feel secure and well-adjusted.
Let your dog sniff around and explore at their own pace. It's their way of engaging with the world.
Teach your dog to walk beside you without pulling on the leash. Use treats and praises as positive reinforcements.
Always clean up after your dog and keep them away from traffic. Carry water for both of you during hot weather.
Walks are a great time for your dog to interact with other pets and people. Monitor these interactions to ensure they stay friendly.
