The benefits of dog walking
Dogs love routine, so keeping a daily walk schedule when possible will help ease stress and give your pet something to look forward to. morning walks are essential. They are a good way for you to get your circulation going before a day of work while letting your dog “empty out” to cut down on household accidents while you’re away. getting exercise in the morning also helps ease anxiety some dogs may feel when alone in the home.
Walking your dog in the evening after dinner is a terrific way for you both to burn off those late day calories and earn a sound night’s sleep. just make sure you carry a flashlight and wear brightly colored clothing so you can be seen by passing drivers.
Daily walks are also the optimal time to train your dog to improve social behavior, obedience, and self-control. There will be many new things to encounter and places to explore, but your dog may not always react to stimuli in the environment in a way that’s safe and socially acceptable.
Using a clicker followed each time with a treat can help reinforce good behavior and train your dog to handle challenging situations in an appropriate manner. remaining patient and in command will help you and your dog handle any situation that you face. using the opportunities that come up as a learning experience, such as meeting other dogs and people, will help improve your pet’s behavior with each walk.
Dog walking problems and solutions
The following are some problems you may encounter when walking your dog and suggested solutions:
Leash pulling – Does your dog constantly pull on the leash, making it feel like you’re the one being taken for a walk? Leash pulling puts you at risk for uncomfortable leash burns on your hands and/or a twisted wrist. You may want to try the Thunderleash. It’s designed to be used either as a simple, conventional leash or as a harness, which can help minimize pulling.
Feces eating – To their pet parents’ dismay, some dogs may eat their own excrement (or that of other animals). There are a number of reasons for this, one of which may be a nutritional imbalance. Regardless, this is a habit most of us would want to discourage. Making sure your dog is getting enough vitamins and nutrients in his or her diet is the first step. For extreme cases, try FOR-BID, which safely discourages dogs from eating their own feces. Of course, picking up the poop with a poopy bag before your dog has a chance to get at it can help, too.
Arthritis & joint problems – If your dog experiences joint pain and inflammation, it may be difficult to get him or her to go on that all-important daily walk. Dogs who don’t get enough exercise are at risk of weight gain, which can further impact joint problems. giving your pet joint supplements is a safe and healthy way to protect joints and support healthy cartilage. If your dog experiences pain from arthritis, your vet may prescribe pain relief medications to help your dog enjoy an active lifestyle.
Excessive barking – Barking, whether at other dogs or people, can make walking your dog stressful. If this is a problem, consider using a Bark Genie hand-held bark controller to help discourage inappropriate barking.
