How To Walk Your Dog Right

There are some basic things you can consider to make the walking experience a great one. Dedicate time, love, and patience to walk your dog daily. As a rule of thumb regarding exercise duration, walking in the fresh air for 30 minutes to up to two hours a day can do wonders to your canine’s health. The temperature will often determine the best time to take your dog walking. Earlier in the day or later in the evening are suitable times to walk your dog.

GIVE YOUR DOG EXERCISE

Walking your dog is important to provide him mental stimulation and physical exercise. Through walks, the entire musculoskeletal system of the dog is trained and strengthened, the circulation and the metabolism stimulated. The immune system can work better and the dog is less susceptible to disease. Without sufficient exercise, muscle mass is reduced, and fat mass is built up which often leads to a strain on joints and bones. Excess weight also causes cardiovascular diseases and diabetes in dogs. Daily walks will also help with socialisation and reinforcement of the bond between you and your four-legged friend.
