Walking Your Dog: A Daily Routine More Important Than You Think
Summary
Regular exercise is crucial for your dog’s health, and walking your dog can also benefit you. Here’s how to make the most of your daily walks.
Urban Walks
For city dwellers, walking is the main form of exercise for pets. Finding a nearby park where your dog can roam freely is ideal. If that's not possible, use a long leash in safe areas. Remember to adhere to these guidelines to ensure a positive experience:
- Plan for Pit Stops: Dogs usually need to relieve themselves soon after going outside. Start your walk with this in mind.
- Train for the Gutter: Encourage your dog to go in the gutter and walk them on the curb side, so you can guide them easily.
- Be Prepared: Always carry plastic bags to clean up after your dog. Use the bag like a glove to pick up waste, turning it inside out to seal.
- Respect Traffic Signals: Even with a green light, it’s safer to wait for the next cycle to cross with ample time.
- Avoid Crowds: During busy times, keep your dog close on a short leash, or carry them if small enough.
- Mind Public Spaces: Avoid letting your dog greet others if it could cause disruptions. Not everyone is fond of dogs.
Suburban Adventures
Suburban areas may have less traffic, but it moves faster. Always keep your dog leashed and under control. In safe spots, unleash only if your dog is well-trained, but always be ready to reattach the leash, especially when crossing streets.
Exploring Nature
The woods, mountains, and beaches offer the greatest joy for your dog.
- In the Woods: Let your dog explore independently but call them back when they're out of sight.
- In the Mountains: Dogs are naturally sure-footed here and can guide you through tough terrain.
- On the Beach: Beaches offer great exercise but be mindful of restrictions. Beware of debris like broken glass and litter which can harm your dog’s paws. Check their paws for injuries after visiting pebbly or shingle beaches.
By considering these tips, you can transform a simple walk into a rewarding routine for both you and your pet.
