Dog walking
You love to the whole
dog walking experience. Taking your friend sightseeing and having him do some exercise is something that makes you proud! Check out the following five things you probably did not know about dog walking. Read and become a
pro dog walker.
Walk in front of your dog
When
walking your dog, he should walk next to you or behind you. To him, the one walking in front is the
leader of the pack. If, on the other hand, he walks in front and leads you, he will be the leader of the pack. This might not be good for you and your dog. You should be the first one going out and the first one entering after a walk.
Use a short leash
This is crucial to a better control. Depending on the
dog breed, we do not recommend you start him on a
retractable leash, for example. Attach the leash to the very top of the neck to better communicate, guide, and correct your dog.
Reward your dog during the walk
When you decide that your dog has been behaving and keeping himself correctly on track,
reward him by giving him some time to move around more freely and sniff around. Then you decide when the rewarding time is over. This time should always be less than the time focused on the walk. Your dog should
start moving at your command.
Be a responsible dog walker
Every time you go out dog walking, don’t forget to
take a bag with your in order to pick up after your dog. Dogs will usually take advantage of the moment to relieve themselves, which is why it is important that you bring a bag to pick up after him.
Meet your dog’s walking needs
Dogs need to exercise through walking and should also be entertained. A
boring dog will usually become destructive and bark a lot. The exercise needs of dogs vary depending on the breed. Find out what are the exercise needs of your dog’s particular breed and make your best effort to meet them.
