Useful tips on everything you need to pay attention to when walking your dog.
Walking our dog is a wonderful time spent with our beloved pet and can bring us very close, although at first it seems like a tiring obligation. Walking the dog should be repeated at least twice a day so that our dog is happy and therefore healthy. Regular walks contribute to the health of the digestive and urinary systems, to exercise and to the stabilization of the weight of our beloved pet.
However, even dog walking has its own rules that you should be aware of. The main goal is to ensure that your dog has a good time and is protected from potential dangers.
Useful tips for walking your dog
We'll start with a tip that most dog owners don't know. During a walk, it's a good idea for your dog not to walk in front of you like most of us do. The reason is that dogs think that whoever is in front is the leader of the pack. That's why experts recommend walking alongside, slightly ahead of your dog. The word "together" is key on a walk!
It is also important that your dog's leash is short in length for better control and optimal guidance. Also, this way we are closer to our dog and our communication is direct without shouting from afar.
Use his favorite toys on the walk, so that it becomes easier and more fun for both of you. The trick is to start playing with his toy at home to pique his interest, and not outside where there are already plenty of stimuli!
If your walk is long, it is recommended to have a water bottle or bowl with you in case he gets thirsty.
Finally, it may be taken for granted, but it's not. When walking our dog, we should always have poop bags and wipes with us in case of an accident.
What you should pay attention to on the walk
✅You must wear an ID. The ID has helped many lost dogs return home!
✅Free walks, without a leash, are only safe in specific areas, e.g. dog parks. Everywhere else, a leash is mandatory.
✅If walking your dog requires boarding public transportation, then you should know that specific rules apply.
✅The most important thing is to protect your dog from dangers. You should always monitor what is happening around you, e.g. avoid packs of dogs if your dog is not very social and you don't know how he will react, or don't insist on your dog sniffing all the dogs he meets on a walk.
